Shredded Chicken: Pre-cooked shredded chicken like rotisserie chicken makes it easy! Cream Cheese: The base of the creamy buffalo mixture! Use softened cream cheese because it mixes the best. Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Adds a delicious cheesy texture! Buffalo Sauce: I used Frank’s hot sauce! Blue Cheese Crumbles: A classic cheese combination with buffalo flavors. Chopped Chives: I love how mild chives are, but feel free to use green onions! Garlic Powder and Onion Powder: The perfect seasonings to add depth and flavor. Salt and Black Pepper: Helps balance and enhance the flavors. Large Flour Tortillas: I recommend using large tortillas! Blue Cheese Dressing: Substitute ranch dressing for the blue cheese dressing if you prefer.
Let’s Make Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels!
These pinwheels are so easy to put together and rolling up the tortillas is the fun part! It’s a perfect finger food for after-school snacks, parties, and on-the-go fuel.
Add Bacon: Try adding in bacon bits for a little smoky flavor! Switch Up the Protein: The chicken can be substituted for shredded pork or beef. You can also eliminate the meat for a vegetarian version. Tortillas: You can use any size tortilla for these pinwheels, but I find the larger the tortilla, the better. It gives more surface area for rolling up for layers of filling. Make it Spicier: For added spice, try adding ¼ teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper instead of more buffalo sauce. If you add too much sauce then the pinwheels will end up soggy. Chicken Tips: I used rotisserie chicken, which makes it so easy to put together. You can also cook chicken breasts or use canned chicken instead.
In the Refrigerator: Store leftover buffalo chicken pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make Ahead: You can prepare these pinwheels up 1-2 days before serving them. Avoid freezing them because the cream cheese can have an unpleasant texture if frozen and thawed.
