These buffalo chicken pinwheel wraps are a quick, easy, and flavorful lunchbox favorite that combines spicy buffalo chicken with creamy cheese in a handheld wrap.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) cooked chicken (rotisserie or shredded leftover chicken)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch/25cm diameter)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) celery sticks, finely diced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred about 2 cups (300g) of cooked chicken using your fingers or two forks until fine but not mushy (3-4 minutes).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken with 1/4 cup (60ml) buffalo sauce. Stir until evenly coated. Set aside for 5 minutes to let flavors meld.
  3. In another bowl, mix 4 oz (115g) softened cream cheese, 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar, 2 tablespoons (30ml) ranch or blue cheese dressing, and finely sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth but thick enough to spread (about 5 minutes).
  4. Fold the buffalo chicken mixture into the creamy spread until fully incorporated.
  5. Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/4 of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle finely diced celery over the spread if using.
  6. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from fridge and slice each log into 1-inch (2.5cm) thick pieces, about 8 slices per wrap.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature, or bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes for a warm, toasty crunch.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is essential for smooth spreading. Chill the rolled tortillas before slicing to prevent them from falling apart. Warm tortillas slightly if stiff to make rolling easier. Baking adds a toasty crunch but is optional.
