Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce (adjust to heat preference)
- 1/2 cup Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions
- 1/2 cup Crumbled Blue Cheese
- 1/2 cup Chopped Celery
Assembly
- 6 large Flour Tortillas, soft and pliable
- 2 tbsp Extra Buffalo Sauce (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Stir everything until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Spread Filling on Tortillas: Evenly distribute about ½ cup of the prepared filling onto each flour tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges to make rolling easier and cleaner.
- Roll and Chill: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you roll to form a neat and compact log. Wrap each rolled log securely in plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
- Slice Pinwheels: Remove the logs from the fridge and slice them into 1-inch thick pinwheels, ensuring the filling stays intact. Arrange the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the extra buffalo sauce for an added kick. Bake them in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pinwheels turn golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the pinwheels from the oven and serve them warm with additional ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping, making them a perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken reduces prep time and adds great flavor.
- Soften cream cheese beforehand to ensure smooth mixing.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to suit your preferred spice level.
- Chilling the rolled tortillas before slicing helps keep the filling intact.
- Serve with extra dipping sauces for enhanced flavor.
- Flour tortillas should be soft and pliable to prevent cracking when rolled.
- Can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
