Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wings sauce
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 2 sliced green onions
  • 2 large tortillas

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, diced celery, and green onions.
    8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup shredded chicken, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup buffalo wings sauce, 1/4 cup diced celery, 2 sliced green onions
  • Mix until combined.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up.
    2 large tortillas
  • Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve.

Notes

  • You can store buffalo chicken pinwheels in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days. I like to place parchment between layers to prevent them from sticking.
  • You can also freeze these pinwheels in an airtight container separated by parchment. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature before mixing so it blends smoothly.
  • Use shredded rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
  • If your tortilla feels stiff, warm it for a few seconds so it rolls tightly without cracking.
  • If the mixture seems soft, wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices to keep the pinwheel edges neat.
  • If using canned chicken, drain it very well and break it up finely before mixing.
