Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breast
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup buffalo wing sauce e.g., Frank’s Red Hot
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese or blue cheese crumbles
- 0.25 cup green onions thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup celery very finely diced
Assembly & Serving
- 4 large flour tortillas burrito size
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
- Celery and carrot sticks for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, shredded cheese, green onions, and finely diced celery until well blended.
- Optional: Slightly warm the flour tortillas to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
- Lay each tortilla flat and spread the chicken mixture evenly across the surface, leaving a small margin at the edges.
- Roll each tortilla up tightly to form a log.
- Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap to help it maintain its shape.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least 30 minutes, though 2-4 hours is recommended for the neatest slices.
- Remove from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
- If necessary, secure each pinwheel with a toothpick.
- Arrange on a platter and serve chilled with ranch or blue cheese dressing and fresh vegetable sticks.
