Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
- ¼ cup Buffalo sauce
- ½ cup blue cheese (crumbled)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded, or Colby jack, Monterey jack)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Other Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken (white and dark meat from rotisserie chicken)
- 3 green onions (finely chopped)
- 6 medium tortillas
Instructions
- Mix Cheese and Spices: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, blue cheese, shredded cheddar, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Use a hand mixer to blend everything until smooth and well combined.
- Add Chicken and Onions: Add the cooked shredded chicken and finely chopped green onions to the cheese mixture. Use a spatula to thoroughly fold the chicken and onions into the cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
- Spread and Roll: Evenly spread the chicken and cheese mixture over each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Place the rolled tortillas on a plate and cover with plastic wrap.
- Chill: Refrigerate the wrapped pinwheels for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. This resting period allows the cheese mixture to firm up, making slicing easier.
- Slice and Serve: When ready to serve, remove tortillas from the refrigerator and slice into 1-inch pieces. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy as a flavorful appetizer or snack.
