• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

1. Mix Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese (if using), green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well blended.

Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.

Tightly roll up the tortilla from one end to the other. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

4. Chill Rolls

Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Remove from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 pinwheels.

6. Serve

Arrange pinwheels on a platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Um den Geschmack zu intensivieren, können Sie dem Mix eine Prise Cayennepfeffer hinzufügen oder eine schärfere Buffalo-Sauce verwenden. Achten Sie darauf, die Mischung gut zu kühlen, damit sich die Aromen verbinden und die Rollen sich besser schneiden lassen.
