Description
These Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels are a spicy, cheesy party favorite made with shredded chicken, creamy cheese, and tangy buffalo sauce all rolled in tortillas and baked until perfectly golden.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
½ cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, for extra flavor)
¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
¼ cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust to taste)
4 large flour tortillas
1–2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, blue cheese (if using), buffalo sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Mix until well combined.
3. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread ¼ of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle green onions on top if using.
4. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 1–1.5 inch slices and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted.
7. Let cool for 2–3 minutes, then serve warm with extra buffalo sauce or ranch for dipping.
Notes
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a colorful twist.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less buffalo sauce.
Serve with celery sticks and extra dressing for a classic pairing.
These pinwheels also work great cold simply chill and slice for easy party prep.
