Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Other Ingredients
- 8 small flour tortillas
- Cooking spray or oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the taquitos.
- Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble Taquitos: Spoon a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling to form taquitos.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled taquito seam-side down on a baking sheet to keep them sealed during baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Spray the taquitos evenly with cooking spray or lightly brush them with oil to help achieve a crispy, golden exterior.
- Bake: Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the buffalo chicken taquitos warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken such as rotisserie or leftover chicken breast for quick preparation.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your preferred spice level.
- Substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a different texture, but they may be more fragile to roll.
- For extra crispiness, turn the taquitos halfway through baking.
- Serve with celery sticks to complement the buffalo flavor.
