Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Mix until well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a quarter of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. If using, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over the top.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Chill: Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to slice.
- Slice into Pinwheels: Once chilled, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy!
These Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, making them a great option for prepping before an event. Serve them with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
