Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with ½ cup of buffalo sauce and ½ cup of ranch dressing. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and ¼ cup of finely chopped green onions into the creamy mixture.
  3. Lay out four 10-inch burrito-size flour tortillas and evenly spread the chicken mixture over each tortilla.
  4. Begin at one end of a tortilla and roll it tightly into a log shape, sealing the edge with a bit of filling.
  5. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. After chilling, unwrap and slice each log into 1-inch pieces. Arrange on a platter and serve.
  7. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve, pairing with celery sticks and extra dressing for dipping.
