Ingredients
– 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
– ¾ cup Buffalo sauce (adjust based on heat preference)

Instructions
Making Buffalo Chicken Taquitos is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
3. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed. This will help make the filling creamy and delicious.
4. Prepare Tortillas: If you’re using flour tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds until soft. This will prevent them from breaking when you roll them.
5. Roll Taquitos: Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll it tightly from one end to the other, tucking in the sides as you go.
6. Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil for a golden, crispy finish.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are crispy and golden brown.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
