- 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
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!
