Tips & Variations

• Make sure your tortillas are at room temperature before rolling to prevent cracking and ensure flexibility.
• Smaller tortillas can be used, but adjust the amount of filling accordingly to avoid overfilling.
• If you’re short on time, you can skip or shorten the refrigeration step, but chilling helps the rolls hold their shape better when sliced.

Storage

Store the roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, slice just before serving. If leftovers are refrigerated sliced, keep them covered to prevent drying. Serve cold or at room temperature; reheating is not recommended as it may soften the tortillas.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken for this recipe?

Yes, rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves time. Just shred it before mixing with the sauces and cheese.

What can I substitute for blue cheese?

If you don’t like blue cheese, you can use feta or omit it altogether. The cream cheese and cheddar provide plenty of flavor and creaminess.

Other Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled blue cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream until smooth and well blended.
2. Mix Chicken with Sauce: Add the shredded cooked chicken to the cheese mixture and toss with 1/2 cup Buffalo wings sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on a plate. Spread an even layer of the chicken and cheese mixture all the way to the edges, using about 2 to 3 tablespoons per tortilla.
4. Roll Tortillas: Roll up the tortilla tightly, ensuring the filling is secure. Place the rolled tortilla on a plate, and repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Chill: Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator to chill for about 2 hours. This helps the roll ups firm up and makes slicing easier.

Notes

• Smaller tortillas can be used but adjust filling quantities as needed.
• Refrigerate roll ups for best slicing results; but can serve immediately if short on time.
