Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Taquitos


  • Author: Emma Skillet
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 Taquitos 1x

Description

These Buffalo Chicken Taquitos bake up golden and crunchy with a creamy buffalo ranch chicken filling—easy appetizers that are perfect party food for game day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pkg cream cheese, softened (8 ounce)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 24 flour tortillas, fajita size
  • Non-stick spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  3. Mix softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce until well combined in a large bowl. The mixture should be smooth.
  4. Mix the shredded rotisserie chicken and shredded cheese into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. For each taquito, spoon a large tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto each flour tortilla. Spread in a thin line from one side to the other.
  6. Roll each tortilla up tightly around the chicken mixture and place seam side down on the baking sheet.
  7. Continue assembling each taquito one at a time until you’re done.
  8. Once all taquitos have been assembled and placed on the baking sheet, generously spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes. Pull from oven and flip taquitos over. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas briefly if they crack while rolling.
  • Don’t overfill—thin line of filling rolls tighter and crisps better.
  • For party food prep, assemble ahead and bake right before serving for peak crunch.
