Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels: A spicy, creamy appetizer made with buffalo chicken, cream cheese, and cheddar, rolled in tortillas.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces (1½ blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded and chopped
  • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper, diced (about ½ of a red bell pepper)
  • 6 flour tortillas, 8 inches
  • 4 medium green onions, thinly sliced (approximately ¼ cup), plus more for garnish
  • ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing until well combined and smooth.

Add the Mix-ins:

  • Add the chicken, cheese, pepper, and green onions and stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Assemble the Pinwheels:

  • Working 1 at a time, top each tortilla with 2/3 cup of filling.

Roll and Chill:

  • Roll each tortilla up tightly, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed and wrapped inside. Place the rolled tortillas in a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

Slice and Serve:

  • When ready to serve, remove the tortillas from the refrigerator and slice each roll into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter, garnish with green onions, and serve ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
