How to make Buffalo Chicken Roll Ups

Ingredients

2 cups (280g) cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup (80ml) buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot or similar)
1 packet (1 oz/28g) ranch seasoning mix, divided
1/2 cup (56g) blue cheese crumbles (optional)
1/2 cup (56g) shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions, finely chopped
6 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons (30ml) butter, melted
1/4 cup (60ml) ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 3/4 of the ranch seasoning packet until smooth. Add the buffalo sauce and mix until well combined.
Fold in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, blue cheese (if using), and most of the chopped green onions, leaving some for garnish.
Lay a tortilla flat and spread about 1/3 cup of the buffalo chicken mixture across the bottom third, leaving an inch of space on each edge.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to create a tight cylinder. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix the melted butter with the remaining ranch seasoning and brush this mixture over the roll-ups.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Let cool for 3-5 minutes, then cut each roll-up diagonally into 2-3 pieces.
Sprinkle with reserved green onions and serve with extra buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
