Buffalo Chicken Taquitos Recipe
Description
This Buffalo Chicken Taquitos recipe uses a mix of cooked shredded chicken combined with softened cream cheese and buffalo sauce for heat and creaminess. Cheddar cheese folded in adds sharpness, while crumbled blue cheese atop the filling layers in its characteristic tang. The chicken mixture is rolled into warmed flour tortillas, sealed, and baked on a rack to encourage even crispness.
Baking at 400°F until the taquitos turn lightly browned and crisp results in a crunchy exterior that contains a juicy and creamy filling. The cooling rack allows air circulation around each one, helping them stay crisp without becoming soggy.
These taquitos can be served as a spicy finger food alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing. They are suitable for casual parties, game day snacks, or as an easy protein-rich appetizer option.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken shredded, cooked
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbled
- 10 flour tortillas fajita-sized
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400. Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray, then set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken, cream cheese, and buffalo sauce. Fold in the cheddar cheese, and mix until combined. Wrap the tortillas in a towel and warm them in the microwave for 45 seconds, or until soft and pliable.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of chicken filling into the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with the blue cheese. Roll the tortillas up and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spray the rolled up tortillas with cooking spray and bake 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp. Serve warm.
