Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie for quick prep)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust heat to taste)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Pinwheels
- 4 large tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free if desired)
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and ranch dressing. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended, about 2-3 minutes.
- Lay out tortillas: Spread the large tortillas flat on a clean surface, ensuring you have enough room to roll them without any filling spilling out.
- Spread the filling: Evenly divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas. Spread it out to the edges for full flavor in every bite.
- Roll the tortillas: Starting from one end, tightly roll each tortilla to enclose the filling completely. For serving, you can slice each rolled tortilla in half if you prefer smaller pinwheels.
- Optional garnish and serve: Garnish the pinwheels with chopped green onions if desired, then serve immediately for a tasty and spicy appetizer.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for easy preparation and maximum flavor.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to control the spice level.
- For gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate pinwheels for up to 2 days.
- These pinwheels are best enjoyed fresh to maintain tortilla softness.
