These buffalo chicken pinwheel roll-ups combine spicy buffalo sauce, creamy ranch and cream cheese, shredded chicken, and cheddar cheese rolled in soft tortillas for a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Optional: celery leaves or diced celery for crunch

Instructions

  1. Shred the chicken by removing skin and bones, then shred with hands or forks (about 5 minutes).
  2. Soften the cream cheese in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer or fork until creamy and smooth (about 3 minutes).
  3. Add ranch dressing and buffalo sauce to the cream cheese and stir until combined. Mix in shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and green onions gently but thoroughly (about 5 minutes).
  4. Lay out the tortillas flat. If stiff, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds to soften (about 1 minute).
  5. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a half-inch border around edges (about 5 minutes).
  6. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, keeping filling snug inside. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap or parchment paper (about 3 minutes).
  7. Chill the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling.
  8. Unwrap and slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a serving platter (about 5 minutes).

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Chill rolls before slicing to prevent filling from oozing. Use a sharp knife to slice clean pinwheels. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control heat. Optional celery adds crunch. Variations include vegetarian, low-carb, and dairy-free adaptations.
