Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling:

    • In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix until smooth and well combined.
    • Stir in the shredded chicken and cheddar cheese until the mixture is evenly coated.
  • Assemble the Taquitos:

    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
    • Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make them more pliable.
    • Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
    • Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the Taquitos:

    • Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to help them crisp up.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve:

    • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
    • Garnish with chopped green onions and crumbled blue cheese if desired.
    • Serve with additional ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
