  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Mixture

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Wrap

  • 2 large tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, buffalo wing sauce, diced celery, and sliced green onions. Mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated into a creamy and spicy mixture.
  2. Assemble the pinwheels: Lay out each tortilla on a clean surface. Spread about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture evenly over each tortilla, covering the entire surface to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  3. Roll and slice: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels, creating bite-sized appetizers.
  4. Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a plate and serve immediately. They can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled if preferred.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling mixture.
  • Enjoy these pinwheels as a party appetizer or light snack.
  • Can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated; slice just before serving for best presentation.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
