Savory pinwheels with chicken, cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, cheddar, and tortillas. Ideal for sharing.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, crumbled blue cheese, green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until uniformly creamy.
02 - Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly spread one fourth of the filling mixture over the tortilla, maintaining a 1/2-inch border around the perimeter.
03 - Beginning at one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Repeat this process with remaining tortillas and filling.
04 - Individually wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the filling.
05 - Remove wraps from the refrigerator and discard plastic wrap. Slice each roll into 6 pinwheels using a sharp knife.
06 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • These pinwheels are packed with bold flavor but come together in minutes—no stove required.
  • The cool cream cheese perfectly balances the spicy Buffalo sauce, making them irresistible for spice lovers and skeptics alike.
02 -
  • If the filling is too warm or soft, slicing will turn messy—chill well before cutting.
  • Wiping your knife after each slice makes the pinwheels look beautiful and prevents smearing cheese everywhere.
03 -
  • Letting the filling rest for a few minutes after mixing makes it easier to spread evenly.
  • For flawless pinwheel spirals, use a gentle sawing motion with your knife instead of pressing down.
