Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing (optional)
2 green onions, finely sliced
4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing (if using), and green onions until smooth and well combined.
2. Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
3. Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture across each tortilla, reaching the edges.
4. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log and place seam-side down.
5. Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. Remove the wraps and slice each tortilla into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.
7. Arrange on a platter and serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and get a smooth mixture.
Don’t skip the chill time — it helps create clean, neat spirals.
If making ahead, slice just before serving to keep edges fresh.
