Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese, optional
- 5 green onions, sliced
- ½ cup finely diced celery
- 3 cups shredded chicken, cooked
- 5 large flour tortillas, 10-inch
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, use a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer to combine the softened 8 oz cream cheese, ½ cup buffalo sauce, ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (if using), and 5 green onions until smooth.
- Stir in ½ cup finely diced celery and 3 cups shredded chicken until evenly coated.
- Spread about ¾ cup of the mixture evenly over each tortilla, all the way to the edges. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log.
- Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. This helps them firm up for cleaner slicing
- Slice each roll into 1-inch rounds. Arrange on a platter to serve, and enjoy!
- Optional: Place the pinwheels on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes, until warm and a little toasty. So good!! Make sure they are fully refrigerated before baking or your cream cheese might leak out while baking.

Notes
Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Cream Cheese: I prefer full-fat cream cheese for the thickest filling, but you can also use light cream cheese for something a little thinner.
- Buffalo Sauce: I used store bought buffalo sauce for the easiest addition, though you can also make your own using this recipe.
- Flour Tortillas: Make sure you buy bigger tortillas, so you have more to work with when rolling them up.
- Totally optional, but for a crunchier pinwheel, place them on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes, until warm and a little toasty. So good!! Make sure they are fully refrigerated before baking, or your cream cheese might leak out.
- Use softened cream cheese, so it spreads more easily. Set it out on the counter about an hour before you plan to cook your pinwheels, and you should be good to go!
- Don’t overfill the tortillas, or else it will be hard to roll and make a big mess.
