Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
Description
This Buffalo Chicken Taquitos recipe mixes shredded cooked chicken with softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, prepared ranch dressing, shredded Monterey Jack, and crumbled blue cheese to create a rich, tangy filling. The mixture is spooned onto flour tortillas that are rolled tightly and placed seam side down on a baking sheet. The taquitos are baked at 400ºF until golden and crisp, with an optional broil at the end to deepen browning. The tortillas are softened in the microwave if needed for easy rolling. Served with blue cheese dressing for dipping, these taquitos combine creamy, spicy, and cheesy flavors in a convenient handheld form. They suit parties or casual meals.
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing prepared
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbled
- 2 cups chicken 10 oz, cooked, shredded
- 8 flour tortillas 8-inch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and the buffalo sauce and the ranch. Mix well. Mix in the Monterey Jack cheese, blue cheese, and chicken. Mix well.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll up. If the tortillas aren’t rolling up well, microwave the tortillas for about 30 seconds to softened them up.
- Place the rolled taquitos on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Spray the taquitos with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then use a pair of tongs to turn them over, return to the oven, and bake an additional 5-7 minutes. If you want to brown them up even more, turn the heat to broil at the end and broil until browned and crisp.
- Serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Softening the tortillas in the microwave helps prevent cracking when rolling the taquitos.
- Baking time can be adjusted to achieve desired crispiness; broiling briefly adds extra browning.
- The recipe was updated to include ranch dressing and more buffalo sauce for balanced flavor.
- Nutritional info may vary depending on ingredient brands and quantities.
