Buffalo Chicken Cream Cheese Pinwheels (Printable)

Soft tortillas rolled with creamy Buffalo chicken and cheese. Ideal for parties, quick prep, and crowd-pleasing flavor.

# 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 flour tortillas, 10-inch diameter

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine shredded chicken breast, softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully incorporated.
02 - Arrange one tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly spread one quarter of the chicken filling over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edge.
03 - Roll the tortilla up tightly from one end to the other. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
04 - Wrap each filled tortilla roll securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up.
05 - Remove the chilled rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll crosswise into 6 equal pinwheels.
06 - Arrange the pinwheels attractively on a serving platter. Serve chilled or allow to come to room temperature before offering.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together ridiculously fast, so you can join the party instead of hovering by the stove.
  • The zesty, creamy filling tucked into soft tortillas always vanishes before anything else on the platter.
02 -
  • Using cold tortillas makes them crack—always let them come to room temp first or warm gently to avoid a crumbly mess.
  • Letting the rolls chill is not just for looks; skipping this step means the filling squishes out everywhere when slicing.
03 -
  • Always taste your filling before rolling—sometimes a pinch more salt or Buffalo sauce makes all the difference.
  • If you’re not a blue cheese fan, just double the cheddar for a milder, kid-friendly version.
