Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 5 ounces Frank’s Red Hot Original Sauce
- ½ cup bleu cheese, crumbled
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup colby jack cheese, shredded
- ⅓ cup green onions, chopped
- 1 Rotisserie chicken, meat shredded (about 3 cups)
Wraps
- 5 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare Buffalo Sauce Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Frank’s Red Hot Original Sauce, bleu cheese, salt, garlic powder, colby jack cheese, and chopped green onions. Use a hand mixer with beaters to blend everything until smooth and no cream cheese lumps remain.
- Add Chicken: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the buffalo sauce mixture. Stir thoroughly with a large spoon until all the chicken pieces are well coated in the buffalo mixture.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Lay out a flour tortilla and spread about ¾ cup of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly across it. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly without shifting the filling too much. Repeat with remaining tortillas and buffalo chicken mixture.
- Chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, allowing the roll-ups to firm up.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the roll-ups from the fridge. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, discarding the end pieces for neatness. Secure slices with toothpicks if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Precooked chicken from a regular oven, shredded, works just as well as rotisserie chicken.
- Chop all ingredients uniformly for a consistent texture and appearance.
- Use cream cheese at room temperature to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- To keep roll-ups from unrolling, secure each with a cocktail stick or toothpick after slicing.
- Do not skip chilling; chilling the roll-ups makes slicing much easier and cleaner.
