Okay football fanatics, here is an appetizer that always score a touchdown!

Happy Superbowl Sunday, my friends! Here is another recipe for you in preparation for THE BIG GAME!
I started the last week off with this easy buffalo chicken dip, and today, we’re switching it up a bit with these easy Buffalo Chicken Tortilla Rollups. I’ve to admit, I’ve been a bit obsessed with buffalo chicken anything lately. When I think of what to cook, the only thing that comes to mind is buffalo chicken, regardless of how good it was, every now and again we should try different things.

So I turned to my favorite cookbook, the Pinterest and searched with three criteria: Chicken, Appetizer and FAST.
When looking for an appetizer one of the key requirements is that it is easy to assemble and often that it can be prepared in advance. No one wants to be stuck in the kitchen throughout their party,  Right ?
So You can assemble these a few hours ahead of time and keep them refrigerated. Or You could make the filling the night before, and assemble them just before party, because it only takes a few minutes to assemble.

As usual, the photo shoot had to be done in a very short time until my darling got his bite of these Buffalo Chicken Tortilla Roll Ups.

Can You Make Buffalo Chicken Roll Ups Ahead?

Yes, and they are better for it. The filling takes 20 minutes to mix and roll, but the rolls need about two hours in the refrigerator before they are ready to slice. That makes this an appetizer you assemble the night before a party and finish in five minutes on the day.

Keep the rolls whole and tightly wrapped in plastic while they chill. Slice them only once you are ready to put them out, because cut pinwheels dry at the edges within an hour or two.

How Do You Keep the Pinwheels From Falling Apart?

Cold filling and a sharp knife do almost all of the work. Cream cheese that has softened on the counter spreads easily but will not hold a spiral, so the chill time is structural, not just a convenience.

Spread the filling all the way to the edges of each tortilla, leaving no gap at the seam, and roll firmly without squeezing the filling out of the sides. Trim the two uneven ends off each roll before you slice the rest, and wipe the blade between cuts.

What to Serve With Them

Put out extra blue cheese or ranch for dipping and the plate empties faster. The filling already carries blue cheese and buffalo sauce, so the dip is there for people who want more heat tamed, not for flavour the roll ups lack.

Celery and carrot sticks belong on the same board for the same reason they belong next to wings. If the rest of the spread is rich, something raw and cold next to these is welcome.
