Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped green onions (optional)
- 4–5 large flour tortillas
Ingredient Highlights
- Cooked Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor. You can also use leftover chicken.
- Buffalo Sauce: This is the star ingredient! Use your favorite brand, and adjust the quantity for more or less spice.
- Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese binds everything together, making the filling creamy and rich.
- Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing: Adds coolness and tang to balance the heat of the buffalo sauce.
- Cheddar Cheese: Provides a sharp, melty goodness in every bite.
- Tortillas: Use soft, pliable flour tortillas for easy rolling.
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: Fold in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and green onions (if using). Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Assemble the Roll Ups:
- Spread the Filling: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a thin, even layer of the buffalo chicken mixture across the entire surface.
- Roll the Tortilla: Starting at one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Chill (Optional): For cleaner cuts, wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Slice and Serve:
- Slice the Roll Ups: Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the pieces cut-side up on a serving platter.
- Serve: Serve immediately with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.
