01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
06 - 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, green onions, celery, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until smooth and evenly blended.
02 - Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture over the tortilla, keeping a 1/2-inch margin around the edges.
03 - Tightly roll the tortilla from end to end. Repeat the process with remaining tortillas and filling.
04 - Wrap each rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
05 - Remove wraps from the refrigerator and unwrap. Slice each roll into 6 pinwheels using a sharp knife.
06 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter. Present chilled or at room temperature.
