How to Make Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups with Blue Cheese Dip
Ingredients
For the Roll-Ups:
1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large flour tortillas
2 green onions, sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Blue Cheese Dip:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the cooked and shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions. Make it more flavorful by adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Equally divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas, and roll each one tightly and once done, place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until tortillas turn golden and crispy.
While waiting for the roll-ups to bake, prepare the blue cheese dip. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until well combined. When the roll-ups are cooked, let them cool slightly before slicing into pinwheels. Serve the roll-ups warm alongside the blue cheese dip.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. The roll-ups are best if eaten within 2-3 days, while you can keep the blue cheese dip for up to one week.
Tips to Make Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups with Blue Cheese Dip
For a crispier roll-up, lightly brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter before baking. Also, ensure the tortillas are rolled up tightly so they hold together when sliced.

For a lighter version, use whole grain tortillas instead of white ones and substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream in the blue cheese dip.
