Equipment

  • toothpicks

Ingredients

  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup Frank's buffalo sauce
  • 1 pound deli chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 16 slices cheddar cheese thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup green onions thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Lay each tortilla on a flat surface and spread about 1 ounce of the softened cream cheese onto the center, leaving a 1 inch border around the edges. Add a splash of the buffalo sauce on the cream cheese.
  • Add the sliced chicken breast and sliced cheddar cheese, dividing evenly between the tortillas, then sprinkle on the blue cheese and the green onions.
  • Roll each tortilla tightly into a log, gently pressing the fillings down as you roll to keep the pinwheels compact.
  • Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp serrated knife to trim off the ends of each roll. Slice into 1/2" slices and secure each with a toothpick.
  • Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
