Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 280g / 10 oz)
- 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120ml) buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- ¼ cup (60ml) ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 110g / 4 oz)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25cm)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly mixed and creamy. Add chopped chives if desired.
- Place flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Warm slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if stiff.
- Divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas. Spread filling evenly, leaving about a ½-inch border along edges.
- Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Optionally wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Remove rolls from fridge if chilled. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
- Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter and serve fresh or chilled.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for smooth mixing. Chill rolled tortillas before slicing for cleaner cuts. Optionally toast pinwheels in a skillet 1-2 minutes per side for a crisp exterior. Substitute BBQ sauce for buffalo sauce for a milder flavor. Use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce leaves for gluten-free option. Vegetarian versions can use jackfruit or chickpeas with vegan cheese.
