Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken, shredded Rotisserie chicken works great for added flavor and convenience.
  • ½ cup Buffalo Sauce Choose your favorite brand for a kick of heat.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened For a healthier option, consider using Greek yogurt or avocado.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese, cheddar or mozzarella Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends.
  • ¼ cup Green Onions, chopped Can substitute with finely chopped celery for a crunch.
  • 4 large Flour Tortillas Whole wheat tortillas make for a healthier wrap option.
  • Salt and Pepper Use to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Use a spatula to mix until everything is well incorporated.
  2. Gently fold in the chopped green onions, seasoning your mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assembly
  1. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the tortilla, spreading it evenly, but leave a small border around the edges.
  2. Starting from one side, tightly roll the tortilla away from you, creating a log.
  3. Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled tortilla into 1-inch pieces to create your pinwheels.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Freezing is also an option; lay the assembled pinwheels on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a zip-top bag. To reheat, use the microwave for about a minute or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
