Buffalo Chicken Taquitos: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
– 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
– 1 package (10-12) corn or flour tortillas
– Cooking oil spray (for baking) or oil (for frying)
– Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving)


Instructions

Creating these Buffalo Chicken Taquitos is simple! Follow these steps to ensure a delicious outcome:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking your taquitos.
2. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and green onions. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Prepare Tortillas: If using corn tortillas, warm them in a microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
4. Fill Tortillas: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking oil. This helps them become crispy in the oven.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, making sure to flip halfway through for even crisping.
8. Fry Option: Alternatively, heat oil in a deep pan and fry the taquitos in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
9. Drain Excess Oil: If frying, place the taquitos on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10. Serve: Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping!

Following these steps will lead you to the perfect Buffalo Chicken Taquitos that will tantalize your taste buds.
