Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 oz (½ block) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
- 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- Nonstick cooking spray or olive oil
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Prep the Filling
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and green onions until well combined and creamy.
Step 2: Assemble the Roll-Ups
Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of the Buffalo Chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges. Roll up the tortilla tightly from one end to the other.
Step 3: Chill and Slice
Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to help them set, making them easier to slice. After chilling, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch thick rounds.
Step 4: Bake
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the roll-ups cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 5: Serve
Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.
