Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 8 ounces light cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup Buffalo wings sauce
Other Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas, 6 inch size
- 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slice Roll Ups: Remove the roll ups from the fridge. Slice each rolled tortilla off the ends to clean up the edges, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Garnish: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a serving plate and garnish with thinly sliced green onions for a fresh, zesty touch.
- Tip on Tortillas: Ensure tortillas are at room temperature before rolling to make them flexible and prevent cracking.
- Adjust Sizes: If using smaller tortillas, adjust the amount of chicken and cheese mixture accordingly for each tortilla.
- Refrigeration Note: While refrigeration improves texture and slicing, if short on time, you may slice immediately after assembling or chill for less time.
Notes
- Use room temperature tortillas to avoid cracking when rolling.
- 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.
- Can be served as a party appetizer or game day snack.
- Use light cream cheese and sour cream to reduce fat content.
