Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese , finely shredded
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 cup cooked chicken , shredded or chopped
- 1 tablespoon scallions , chopped
- 4 inch flour tortillas
Instructions
- Blend together the cream cheese, hot sauce, cheese,and salt until fully mixed.
- Add the chicken and scallions, folding by hand.
- Evenly divide the spread between 4 flour tortillas. Spread out evenly all the way to the edges. Roll the tortilla tightly and wrap in plastic wrap to help it keep its shape.
- Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to reform.
- Using a sharp knife or a serrated knife, cut into 1-inch slices. Discard the ends with no filling that are uneven.

Notes
- Make these ahead of time up to 24 hours in advance!
- Add green chiles or jalapenos! Just 1-2 tablespoons of canned chopped green chiles or jalapenos gives these a kick. Drain before adding.
- Salsa also provides pizazz, use a thick and chunky version and add 1-2 tablespoons.
- Swap chicken for turkey. No one said you had to use chicken!
- Bacon makes everything better- Doesn't it? Add 1/2 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon to the buffalo chicken filling.
- Get cheesy- Sharp cheddar gives full flavor, but try using a blend of cheeses including pepper jack, monterey jack, smoked gouda or even white cheddar. A habanero laced cheese will really bring on the heat.
- Add ranch! Adding a packet of dry ranch seasoning to the mixture will also pack and punch before the base is both seasoned and has powdered buttermilk for a little tang. If you do this, omit the additional salt.
- Blue Cheese Crumbles- I left these out before some folks aren't big fans of chunky soft cheese, but feel free to blend in 1/2 cup of feta or blue cheese crumbles with the chicken so they stay fairly whole.
- Tortilla Flavors- Have fun with the flavors and grab green spinach or red tomato tortillas. I've even seen some jalapeno laced ones.
- Make them just buffalo cream cheese pinwheels (vegetarian pinwheels) by doubling the cream cheese.
