Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 0.333 cup Buffalo sauce
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 10 pieces Small flour tortillas
- Cooking spray
- Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, Buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Place a small amount (about 2-3 tablespoons) of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of a flour tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the filling as you go, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling until all taquitos are assembled.
Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray to ensure crispiness during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
Serve warm with additional ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or celery sticks on the side. Enjoy!
