  • 1/4 cup finely diced celery
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

1. Mix Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese (if using), green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well blended.
2. Spread Mixture
Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.
3. Roll Tortillas
Tightly roll up the tortilla from one end to the other. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
4. Chill Rolls
Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
5. Slice Pinwheels
Remove from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 pinwheels.
6. Serve
Arrange pinwheels on a platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For a firmer roll, ensure the mixture is well chilled before slicing. Use a sharp knife to achieve clean pinwheel slices. Adjust the cream cheese softness if needed to create a spreadable but stable filling.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Add more heat by including a dash of cayenne pepper or swapping in a hotter Buffalo sauce. Blue cheese can be replaced with extra cheddar for a milder taste. For gluten-free options, opt for gluten-free tortillas in place of the flour ones.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these pinwheel wraps with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping. They are perfect chilled but also enjoyable at room temperature, making them versatile for any occasion.
