Description
Quick and easy buffalo chicken roll ups perfect for after school snacks or lunches, combining spicy, creamy flavors in a handheld form.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
- 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (60ml) buffalo hot sauce
- 1/2 cup (50g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 6 large flour tortillas (about 8-inch / 20cm)
- Ranch dressing (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- Shred or finely chop the cooked chicken and place in a mixing bowl.
- Add softened cream cheese, buffalo hot sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions to the bowl.
- Stir everything together until evenly combined and creamy. Add a splash more hot sauce or a teaspoon of water if the mixture is too thick.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread about 1/3 cup of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over it, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but gently, tucking in the filling as you go. Place the roll seam-side down.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 3-4 bite-sized pieces.
- Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, or wrap and pack for later.
Notes
Use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience. Warm tortillas slightly to make rolling easier. Soften cream cheese before mixing. Adjust hot sauce to taste. Store roll ups wrapped tightly in the fridge up to 24 hours. Best served cold or at room temperature. Do not freeze. Substitute ingredients for vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy-free versions as desired.
