What You’ll Need for This Recipe
Ingredients:
1 pound cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust for spiciness)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced green onions
6 large flour tortillas
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Ranch Roll-Ups
Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced green onions. Mix well until evenly combined.
Assemble the Roll-Ups:
Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the tortilla tightly, starting from one end, to create a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Chill the Roll-Ups:
Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This helps them firm up, making them easier to slice.
Slice and Serve:
Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and slice each one into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch thick).
Arrange the roll-ups on a platter and serve with extra ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Helpful Tips for Recipe Success
Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to ensure it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients.
Use Fresh Tortillas: Fresh, pliable tortillas are easier to roll and less likely to crack.
Adjust Spice Level: For a milder flavor, use less buffalo sauce or add more ranch dressing. For extra heat, sprinkle in some cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
Make Ahead: These roll-ups can be prepared a day in advance, making them ideal for parties or meal prep.
Serving Suggestions
Dipping Sauce: Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Party Platter: Pair with veggie sticks like celery and carrots for a balanced appetizer spread.
Lunch Option: Pack these roll-ups as a quick and flavorful lunch for work or school.
