Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 4 flour tortillas (soft and flexible)

Optional Fresh Elements

  • 2 green onions, finely chopped or 1/2 cup diced celery

Dipping Sauces

  • Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for dipping or drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by shredding cooked chicken breasts or using leftover rotisserie chicken. The smaller the pieces, the easier it will be to roll and eat.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and softened cream cheese. Stir well until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
  3. Add Cheese and Fresh Ingredients: Fold in shredded cheese along with finely chopped green onions or celery if using. This adds texture and balances the heat.
  4. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border on the edges for easier rolling.
  5. Roll and Secure: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one side to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside. If needed, secure with toothpicks or slice into pinwheels.
  6. Heat for Gooey Perfection: Warm the roll-ups in a skillet over medium heat or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts and edges are slightly crisp.

Notes

  • Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent cracking when rolling.
  • Don’t overfill the tortillas; leave a border on the edges to avoid spilling during rolling or baking.
  • Use freshly shredded chicken for best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve roll-ups immediately for the best melty and spicy experience.
