Buffalo Chicken Roll Ups Recipe
We are big fans of Buffalo chicken around here. We adore this delicious buffalo chicken casserole and even a healthier buffalo chicken salad. However, this time I wanted something I could serve to guests that was more portable than a dip. So, I thought, why not take our favorite flavor and wrap it in a tortilla?
And I did, and it turned out to be delicious!
The best part about these roll-ups is that you can easily customize the spiciness by adjusting the amount of buffalo sauce. When combined with cream cheese, ranch dressing, and other ingredients, it elevates the dish from simple buffalo chicken to an astonishingly delicious appetizer. Even my dear friend, who isn’t usually a huge fan of buffalo flavors, went back for seconds and inquired what made these so tasty!

Ingredients + Substitutions
- 4 12″ tortillas – You can choose larger or smaller tortillas based on your serving preference.
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened – You may opt for light cream cheese or neufchatel to reduce the fat content.
- 2 cups shredded chicken breast – Using leftover rotisserie chicken is a favorite of mine, but any leftover chicken works well too.
Step-by-Step Recipe
Here, I’ll emphasize a few important steps in the recipe, but be sure to check the recipe card for detailed instructions on creating Buffalo Chicken Roll Ups.
Combine cream cheese, chicken, cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning in a bowl and mix well.
On each tortilla, spread one-quarter of the mixture evenly, creating a thin layer across the surface.
Begin at one end and roll tightly until reaching the other end.
Slice the roll ups into 1-inch sections.
Recipe Tips
- Let the cream cheese reach room temperature – If the cream cheese is cold, mixing and spreading the filling will be quite challenging. It’s advisable to take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator at least an hour before you plan to put together your chicken ranch pinwheels.
- Don’t omit the chilling step! – Allowing the buffalo roll ups to chill for a minimum of 15 minutes is crucial to ensure they firm up adequately for slicing without getting flattened.
- Use a sharp knife for slicing – A serrated knife works best for cutting chicken and bacon pinwheels.
- Cut just before serving – If preparing your buffalo roll ups in advance, it’s recommended to wait to slice them until just before serving. Otherwise, they may dry out.
Recipe Short Cuts
If you need to whip up this recipe in a hurry, here are some helpful suggestions to streamline the process!
- Prepare in advance – You can make the chicken buffalo roll-ups up to 4 days prior! I recommend assembling the rolls and refrigerating them, then slicing just before it’s time to serve.
- Purchase pre-prepared ingredients – Picking up delikatesse rotisserie chicken and pre-shredded cheese can make your prep time significantly shorter.
