Ingrédients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • green onions chopped, optional
  • celery sticks for serving, optional

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients: shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, tortillas, and optional toppings.
  • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, and buffalo sauce until well mixed and creamy.
  • Lay one tortilla flat and spread an even layer of the buffalo chicken mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and green onions (if using) over the mixture.
  • Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling completely.
  • Slice into 1-inch sections to form pinwheels.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up before serving, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
  • Serve with celery sticks or ranch dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

Don’t overfill the tortillas to avoid spillage. Make sure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth mixture. For extra spice, add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months.
