Equipment

Medium mixing bowl
electric mixer
Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • cup buffalo sauce, more or less as desired

Blue Cheese Dip (optional)

  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ Tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and ranch powder. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Add hot sauce and mix by hand until slightly incorporated, then use a hand mixter until creamy smooth.
  • Add the shredded chicken, mix once more. Then fold in the cheese until fully incorporated.
  • Spread ⅓ of the mixture over each large tortilla.

  • Unwrap, and slice about ½ inch wide and place on a platter.

Blue Cheese Dip

Notes

  • Microwave cream cheese for 2-3, 15 second intervals before mixing.
  • Use 3 large, burrito sized, flour tortillas (10 inch diameter), or use 6 small tortillas (7 inch diameter).
