Ingredients

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup buffalo sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 green onions, finely chopped

4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and buffalo sauce until smooth.

2. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and mix well.

3. Fold in the shredded chicken and green onions until evenly combined.

4. Spread the mixture evenly over each flour tortilla all the way to the edges.

5. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log and place seam-side down.

6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

7. Slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.

8. Serve chilled or lightly air-fried for a crispy edge.

Notes

Use burrito-sized tortillas to get better spirals and more filling in each bite.

Make sure to chill before slicing—this helps the pinwheels hold their shape.

For extra flavor, try adding a few crumbles of blue cheese or a drizzle of ranch.
