Description

Spicy, creamy, and full of flavor, these Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels are a make-ahead party snack that can be prepared in just 20 minutes. Simply chill, slice, and serve this bold, bite-sized appetizer that everyone loves. Ideal for holidays, potlucks, or game day gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 3 large flour tortillas
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • 8-ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • ¾ cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • Optional: blue cheese crumbles and chopped green onions, for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until it’s completely smooth.
  2. Add the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. Mix until everything is fully blended.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded chicken by hand until blended thoroughly.
  4. Place a tortilla on a clean surface and spread a generous, even layer of the buffalo chicken filling across it.
  5. Roll the tortilla up tightly from one end to the other. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
  6. Transfer the rolled tortillas to the freezer for at least 15 minutes to help them firm up to make slicing easier.
  7. Slice the rolls into pinwheels with a sharp knife, about ½ to 1 inch thick. For cleaner cuts, wipe your knife after each slice.
  8. Garnish with crumbled blue cheese and chopped green onions before serving if desired.
