Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded chicken (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 4 large tortillas
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Stir it well until all the flavors mingle lovingly.
- Heat the skillet: Grab your skillet and heat it over medium. Add a bit of butter or oil, just enough to coat the bottom.

- Cook it up: Fold the tortilla in half. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

- Serve: Cut into wedges and enjoy! Drizzle with extra Buffalo sauce or serve with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
