Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce adjust for spice level
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing if you prefer
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions optional
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
Mix the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
Prepare the Tortillas:
- Lay the tortillas flat on a surface and spread the chicken mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the Pinwheels:
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, keeping the filling inside.
Slice into Pinwheels:
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch pieces. You should get about 8-10 pinwheels per tortilla.
Serve:
- Arrange the pinwheels on a platter, sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired, and serve immediately. You can also refrigerate them until ready to serve.
Notes
- Make Ahead: You can prepare these pinwheels a day ahead and store them in the fridge. Just slice and serve when you're ready!
- Baked Version: For warm pinwheels, bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Dips: Serve with ranch, blue cheese, or any dip of your choice!
