Buffalo Chicken Cream Cheese Pinwheels (Printable Format)

Buffalo chicken, creamy cheeses, and zesty sauce rolled in tortillas—ideal for gatherings and easy entertaining.

# What's Needed:

→ 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)

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and uniformly blended.
02 - Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly distribute approximately one quarter of the chicken mixture over the tortilla, maintaining a 1/2-inch border at the edges.
03 - Beginning at one end, roll the tortilla tightly to secure the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
04 - Wrap each roll securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to allow the filling to set.
05 - Remove chilled rolls from plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 equal pinwheels.
06 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These pinwheels bring the spicy kick of Buffalo sauce in a creamy bite-sized swirl—an easy party trick you can pull out anytime.
  • You can prep them ahead, so the stress stays low and the flavor stays bold.
02 -
  • If you skip chilling the wrapped rolls, the pinwheels won't slice cleanly and will mess up your platter.
  • I once ran out of celery and tried cucumber, but celery's crunch is essential for the classic texture.
03 -
  • Microwave the cream cheese for 10 seconds if it's too firm; that makes blending easier.
  • Rolling tightly is the secret to neat-looking pinwheels that hold their shape.
