Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 4 large flour tortillas
- cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Lay down your flour tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly spread the chicken mixture across each tortilla, ensuring you reach the edges. Carefully roll the tortillas tightly, starting from one end to the other, and slice them into bite-sized pinwheels.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and heat for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the pinwheels with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Arrange the pinwheels in a single layer in the basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
For a lighter version, try Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese or pepper jack cheese for more heat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
