Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Opt for rotisserie chicken for convenience or cook your own for a fresher flavor.
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce Choose your favorite brand or homemade for an extra kick!
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened This adds a rich, creamy texture—make sure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream This can lighten up the dish while maintaining creaminess—feel free to swap in Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded A sharp cheddar heightens the flavor, but you can also mix it with Monterey Jack for a creamier bite.
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped These bring a fresh crunch—don’t skip this for flavor dimension.
- 4 large flour tortillas Soft tortillas work great, but consider whole wheat for a healthier twist.
- to taste salt and pepper Just a pinch elevates the flavor; adjust according to your preference.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Stir everything together until it’s well blended.
- Lay one tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread a generous amount of your buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling stays intact as you go. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1–2 inches thick.
- Arrange your pinwheels beautifully on a serving platter. Pair with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If freezing, wrap individual pinwheels tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
