These spicy buffalo chicken ranch pinwheel roll-ups are quick, easy, and perfect for game day snacks. They combine creamy ranch, fiery buffalo sauce, and tender chicken wrapped in soft tortillas for a flavorful bite-sized treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300 grams) cooked shredded chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25 cm)
  • 1 cup (100 grams) shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 stalk celery, finely diced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) melted butter (optional, for brushing tortillas)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce. Stir well to coat evenly but not drenched (about 3 minutes).
  2. Lay out 4 large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Optionally brush each tortilla lightly with melted butter for a crispier edge.
  3. Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of ranch dressing over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (25 grams) shredded cheddar cheese evenly over each ranch-covered tortilla. Scatter sliced green onions and diced celery if using.
  5. Divide the buffalo-coated chicken evenly among the tortillas, spreading gently on top of the cheese and veggies.
  6. Roll each tortilla into a tight log starting at one edge. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up (optional but recommended).
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick pinwheels, about 8 to 10 pieces per tortilla. Clean the knife between cuts for neat edges.
  8. Arrange pinwheels on a platter and optionally drizzle extra ranch or buffalo sauce on top. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use juicy leftover rotisserie chicken for best texture. Chilling the rolled tortillas before slicing helps keep pinwheels intact and neat. For a crispier version, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or air fry for 5-7 minutes. Substitute Greek yogurt for ranch for a lighter option. Use corn tortillas for gluten-free, and dairy-free cheese and ranch alternatives for dairy-free versions.
