Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (full fat)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (e.g., Hellmann’s)
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • Optional: sliced green onions or chopped celery for extra crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Ranch Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, dried dill, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and spreadable.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay one tortilla flat. Spread about 1/4 of the ranch filling evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Add Cheese and Chicken: Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the ranch layer, then spread 1/4 of the buffalo chicken mixture on top. Add optional veggies if using.
  5. Roll the Pinwheels: Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, pressing gently to keep filling compact. Wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  6. Chill the Rolls: Refrigerate wrapped rolls for at least 30 minutes to firm up for clean slicing.
  7. Slice and Serve: Unwrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels using a serrated knife. Arrange on a platter and optionally drizzle extra ranch or sprinkle fresh herbs.

Notes

Chilling the wraps before slicing is key to clean pinwheels and preventing filling from oozing. Use rotisserie or freshly shredded chicken for best texture. Adjust buffalo sauce heat to taste. For gluten-free, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves. For dairy-free, use vegan mayo, dairy-free sour cream, and cheese alternatives.
