Notes
To make these Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels gluten free, replace the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas that are soft and flexible enough to roll without cracking. You should also verify that the hot sauce, shredded cheeses, cream cheese, garlic powder, and any rotisserie chicken used are labeled gluten free, since additives and seasonings can vary by brand. If cross-contact is a concern, prepare the filling in a clean bowl and use utensils and surfaces that have not come into contact with gluten-containing tortillas or breads.
