Crunchy Buffalo Chicken Taquitos are a delicious and easy snack or meal option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 small flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray (for baking)
  • Optional: sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Heat the tortillas in a microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable.
  4. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.
  5. Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling, ensuring they are secure.
  6. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Lightly brush the tops of the taquitos with olive oil or spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Allow the taquitos to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Plate the taquitos and serve with sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your heat preference.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
