Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels For Parties And Game Day.
With game day just around the corner, I've been thinking about all my favourite party foods, and these Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups or Pinwheels are always near the top of the list.
Alongside crowd-pleasers like Loaded BLT Ranch Dip and Easy Fiesta Ranch Dip, they're one of those appetizers that everyone reaches for first.
They're packed with creamy, spicy buffalo chicken flavor and are the perfect finger food for parties, tailgates, and game day gatherings.
One of the best things about these pinwheels is that they can be prepared in advance. Simply mix the filling, roll everything up in tortillas, and let them chill until you're ready to slice and serve.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (canned, rotisserie, or cooked chicken breast)
6 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
1/4 cup buffalo sauce
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
3 large flour tortillas
Instructions.
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and blue cheese crumbles until smooth and well combined.
2. Stir in the buffalo sauce, green onion, and shredded chicken. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
3. Spread one-third of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over a tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
4. Roll the tortilla up tightly into a log.
5. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. This helps them firm up and makes slicing easier.
7. Using a sharp knife, cut each tortilla roll into 1-inch slices. Discard the unfilled ends and arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter.
Tip: You can assemble the tortillas up to 24 hours before serving and keep them tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. Slice just before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
