Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels
These Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels are the best because they’re made with my tried-and-true buffalo chicken filling that’s perfectly creamy and spicy. They come together in just 15 minutes, hold up great in the fridge, and are always the first appetizer to disappear at parties, game day, and potlucks.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup Ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce such as Frank’s Red Hot
- 1 cup cheddar or Colby Jack cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions finely sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces cooked and shredded chicken about 3 cups (rotisserie or canned)
- 5 to 6 large flour tortillas
- extra Ranch or blue cheese dressing optional for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, shredded cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining. A hand mixer works well for this step.8 ounces cream cheese, 1/4 cup Ranch dressing, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, 1 cup cheddar or Colby Jack cheese, 1/4 cup green onions, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fold in the shredded chicken and stir until evenly coated.12 ounces cooked and shredded chicken
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 3/4 cup of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.5 to 6 large flour tortillas
- Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape without squeezing out the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. This helps the pinwheels firm up and slice cleanly.
- Remove the plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, trim off the ends and discard. Slice each roll into 1 inch pinwheels.
- Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.extra Ranch or blue cheese dressing
