Description

These Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels are the perfect spicy, creamy party snack. Made with shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce, and cheese, rolled up in tortillas and sliced into bite-sized pinwheels.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing (or ranch)
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, and hot sauce until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and crumbled blue cheese (if using). Stir until evenly coated.
  3. Lay the tortillas flat on a work surface. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it to the edges.
  4. Sprinkle green onions over the mixture if desired.
  5. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to firm up.
  6. Unwrap the logs and slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For a milder version, reduce the hot sauce to 1/4 cup. You can substitute ranch dressing for blue cheese dressing. These can be made a day ahead; keep refrigerated until serving.
