I need to admit something before we go any further {I feel like I do this a lot}.  Spicy food and June {that’s me} don’t really love each other…like at all!

So buffalo sauce isn’t exactly my favorite but it is definitely my families and so that means majority rules.  When that happens mama sucks it up and makes what everyone likes.  Boy am I glad I did.

I have learned that it is good to step outside of your comfort zone.  Making and eating these Buffalo Chicken Tortilla Wraps was definitely one of those moments.

When you have both hot sauce and blue cheese in something I would normally head the other direction BUT these babies are DELICIOUS!

Buffalo Chicken Wraps Recipe Ingredients

How to Make Buffalo Wraps

Begin by combining the cream cheese {it binds the ingredients}, the mayonnaise {flavor and binder} and buffalo sauce {flavor and heat}.  

I used a hand held mixer for this job because I wanted to have a creamy texture.

Once you have the texture you want it is time to add all of the other ingredients…

  • Canned Chicken aka secret ingredient {you could use baked or grilled too but canned makes this dish so easy}
  • Blue Cheese {blue cheese and Buffalo Wings are iconic friends, just trust me}
  • Finely Chopped Celery {celery gives texture and a cooling element you can’t get from anything else}
  • Grated Cheese {you didn’t think I could stop with just one kind of cheese did you?}
  • Sliced Green Onion {more flavor and color}

Stir the ingredients and use about 1/3-1/2 cup on each tortilla.  Spread the filling out to within a 1/2 inch around the edge of each of tortilla.

You want to have a nice even layer of buffalo chicken filling.

Roll the tortilla up tightly {but not tight enough that the filling comes out} and roll each one in plastic wrap.  Refrigerate them for at least 1-2 hours.  This will allow the filling to set up and make cutting them a breeze.

Once they have set up unwrap and cut each roll into 1/2 inch slices {you should get 5-6 per tortilla}.

To get a nice clean cut I like to use a serrated knife and wipe it clean between each slice.

Tips For Making Buffalo Chicken Tortilla Roll Ups

  • Work with room temperature cream cheese to get a creamy filling that is easy to stir.

  • Chop the celery and green onions into small chunks.  This will allow for easy rolling.

  • Roll the tortillas tightly.  Doing so will ensure that they stay together once cut.

  • Don’t skip refrigerating the wraps.  This will make them easier to cut and the flavors to get even better.

  • Use a serrated knife to cut the roll ups.  This will make sure that you get nice clean cuts.

How to Serve Buffalo Wraps

Serve Buffalo Wraps at a cocktail party or during a football game with extra blue cheese or ranch salad dressing for dipping.

I sent them to poker night with my Darb and they were a hit!  Make them for yourself, for the holidays…heck for any ole’ day…you will certainly be glad that you did!
