Chicken and creamy cheese with Buffalo sauce rolled into soft tortilla pinwheels, chilled and sliced.

# Ingredient List:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
06 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
07 - 1/4 cup finely diced celery
08 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Assembly

11 - 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, crumbled blue cheese, green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until creamy.
02 - Position a tortilla on the work surface and evenly spread one-quarter of the filling mixture across, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edges.
03 - Tightly roll the tortilla from one edge to the other. Repeat this process for remaining tortillas and filling.
04 - Wrap each rolled tortilla securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to allow the filling to firm.
05 - Remove rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6 equal pinwheels.
06 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter. Present chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • These pinwheels deliver all the tangy Buffalo flavor with almost zero fuss, like a party trick you can pull out anytime.
  • The creamy, zesty bite is perfect for game day munching and always disappears faster than expected.
02 -
  • If you rush the chilling step, the filling will leak and make a mess when you slice.
  • Switching up the Buffalo sauce makes a huge difference—hotter sauces turn the flavor from subtle to bold.
03 -
  • Keep your knife extra sharp for clean slices—this prevents the filling from smearing.
  • Taste the filling before rolling; a little extra salt or wing sauce can totally elevate flavor.
