Buffalo Chicken Cream Cheese (Print View)

Tender chicken, rich cheeses, and bold Buffalo sauce wrapped in soft tortillas for flavorful party bites.

# Components:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
06 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
07 - 1/4 cup finely diced celery
08 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Assembly

11 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

# Directions:

01 - Combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese if desired, green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until smooth and evenly incorporated.
02 - Place a tortilla onto a clean surface. Using a spatula or spoon, distribute approximately one-quarter of the prepared filling over the tortilla, maintaining a 1/2-inch margin along the edges.
03 - Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to create a cylinder. Repeat the process for each remaining tortilla and filling.
04 - Wrap each roll securely in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the wraps for a minimum of 1 hour to firm the filling.
05 - Remove wraps from the refrigerator and take off plastic. With a sharp knife on a cutting board, slice each roll into 6 pinwheels.
06 - Transfer pinwheels to a serving platter. Offer chilled or at room temperature; serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
