Ingredients

• For the Filling:
• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup finely diced celery
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• For Assembly:
• 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese (if using), green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well blended.

Step 2

Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.

Step 3

Tightly roll up the tortilla from one end to the other. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 4

Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 5

Remove from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 pinwheels.

Step 6

Arrange pinwheels on a platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure the best results, make sure your cream cheese is properly softened before mixing for a smooth consistency. Chilling the wrapped rolls for at least an hour is essential to firm them up, allowing for clean, perfect slices. Using a sharp knife is key to avoiding crushing the tortillas during cutting.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily adjust the heat level by adding a dash of cayenne pepper or using a hotter buffalo sauce. If you prefer, substitute the blue cheese with more shredded cheddar. For a gluten-free option, these can be prepared using gluten-free flour tortillas.

Serviervorschläge

These pinwheels are best served chilled or at room temperature. Arrange them on a platter with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. They also pair perfectly with extra celery sticks or carrot ribbons for a classic buffalo-style presentation.
