Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 green onions, chopped
Optional Ingredients
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping or drizzling
- Diced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat
- Roasted cauliflower or jackfruit for vegetarian alternative
- Pepper jack or mozzarella cheese for different cheese blend
- Gluten-free tortillas as a substitute for flour tortillas
- Finely chopped celery for added crunch
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and softened cream cheese. Stir until the mixture is creamy and evenly coated with sauce.
- Add Cheese and Onions: Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions to add gooey texture and freshness to the filling.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out a tortilla flat, spoon a generous amount of the filling onto one side, then tightly roll it up into a log shape.
- Bake Until Melted: Place roll-ups seam side down on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas are lightly golden.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces for easy snacking and serve with optional dips if desired.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for juiciness and time-saving.
- Don’t overfill tortillas to prevent tearing.
- Use a sharp knife to slice roll-ups neatly without squishing.
- Experiment with spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for a cooling contrast.
- Leftover roll-ups can be refrigerated up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Unbaked roll-ups can be frozen for up to 2 months, wrapped individually in plastic wrap and sealed in a freezer-safe bag.
- Reheat refrigerated roll-ups in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for best texture; avoid microwaving.
