Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels Meal Prep

1 burrito size tortilla

1 oz cream cheese

1 tsp Frank’s Red Hot Sauce

3 slice deli chicken breast

1 slice provolone cheese

½ carrotcut into fine matchsticks

½ ribs celerycut into fine matchsticks

pretzel rodsfor meal prep

nut mixfor meal prep

berriesfor meal prep

Mix cream cheese: In a small bowl, add cream cheese and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (1 ounce cream cheese & 1 teaspoon hot sauce per pinwheel). Use a fork to stir until well-mixed and no lumps of cream cheese remain.

Spread cream cheese: Lay your flatbread or tortilla on a cutting board or other clean surface. Spread your buffalo cream cheese on first, being sure to cover the ENTIRE tortilla surface.

Assemble pinwheel: Next, arrange your deli meat slices flat on the tortilla, covering about 2/3 of the surface. Leave about 1/3 of the tortilla covered with cream cheese only. Add a slice of cheese if you want, then add your celery and carrot sticks to the middle of the flatbread forming a line from edge to edge.

Roll the pinwheel: Begin rolling the pinwheel from the meat covered side, using both hands and rolling tightly. The veggies may try to escape, but just use your fingers to tuck them in as you roll.

Meal prep & serve: Cut the roll up into 5 pieces, and arrange in your meal prep container. Portion some berries, nuts or pretzels in to complete the meal! I recommend serving with additional buffalo sauce. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 2-3 days. The outside may become soft depending on what type of tortilla or wrap you have used. Meal prep & enjoy based on your preference – if you don’t want the wraps soft at all, meal prep the night before you plan to eat.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Buffalo Cream Cheese Temperature Control 🧈
Soften your cream cheese at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before mixing with Frank's Red Hot Sauce to ensure smooth, even distribution without lumps throughout the filling.
Tortilla Moisture Prevention 💧
Pat your deli chicken breast and vegetables completely dry with paper towels before assembly to prevent excess moisture from making the tortilla soggy during storage and meal prep.
Strategic Ingredient Layering 🔄
Layer the provolone cheese directly against the tortilla as a moisture barrier, then apply the buffalo cream cheese mixture to keep vegetables from releasing water into the wrap.
Clean Slice Technique ✂️
Use a sharp serrated knife and cut the pinwheels while slightly chilled (after 30 minutes refrigeration), wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges that hold together during meal prep storage.
Optimal Storage Timing ⏰
Assemble pinwheels no more than 3-4 days before eating and store seam-side down on parchment paper to prevent unraveling and maintain freshness throughout your meal prep week.
