  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
– 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 10-12 small flour tortillas
– Olive oil or cooking spray, for baking
– Optional toppings: sour cream, green onions, or extra buffalo sauce


Instructions

Creating Buffalo Chicken Taquitos is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with cooking spray.
2. Mix Chicken Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.
3. Prepare Tortillas: If your tortillas are stiff, warm them slightly in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make them more pliable.
4. Fill Tortillas: Take one tortilla and place 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling near one edge. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you roll. Secure with a toothpick if necessary and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Repeat Process: Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used up. Ensure to leave some space between the taquitos on the baking sheet to allow for even cooking.
6. Brush with Oil: Lightly brush the tops of the taquitos with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help achieve a golden-brown crust.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the taquitos are crispy and golden.
8. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the taquitos from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
9. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Buffalo Chicken Taquitos warm, alongside your favorite dips or toppings.
