Buffalo Chicken Cream Cheese Pinwheels (Print View)

Chicken, Buffalo sauce, and cheese rolled in tortillas—easy appetizer for gatherings or game day.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
06 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
07 - 1/4 cup finely diced celery
08 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Assembly

11 - 4 large 10-inch flour tortillas

# Method:

01 - Combine chicken, cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well incorporated.
02 - Lay out one tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly spread one-fourth of the chicken mixture over the tortilla, ensuring a 1/2-inch border remains.
03 - Tightly roll up the tortilla from one end to the other. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
04 - Wrap each rolled tortilla firmly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour so the filling can set.
05 - Remove wraps from the refrigerator, unwrap, and slice each tortilla roll into six equal pinwheels using a sharp knife.
06 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter and present chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These wraps are so quick to assemble that you can spend more time mingling and less time stressing in the kitchen.
  • Every bite is creamy, spicy, and crunchy—the perfect crowd-pleaser that always disappears first from the snack table.
02 -
  • If you skip chilling the wraps, they won’t hold their shape—learned that on a day I was too impatient.
  • Using cold chicken keeps the mixture thick and prevents soggy tortillas—a simple thing, but crucial for perfect pinwheels.
03 -
  • If tortillas crack, microwave for ten seconds before spreading the filling.
  • A drop of ranch or blue cheese dressing swirled in the filling brings a fun twist.
