Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 10 small flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for a crunchier texture)
- Cooking spray or vegetable oil (for baking/frying)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Filling – In a bowl, mix together shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the Taquitos – Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla, roll it tightly, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake or Fry:
- To Bake: Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray and bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- To Fry: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the taquitos in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve – Enjoy warm with ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or extra buffalo sauce!
Notes
- Use corn tortillas for extra crunch—just warm them slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Add chopped green onions or crumbled blue cheese for extra flavor.
- Air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Make them spicier by adding a dash of cayenne or extra buffalo sauce!
