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
- 0 Cooking spray
- 0 Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling until all taquitos are assembled.
Step 5
Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray to ensure crispiness during baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with additional ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or celery sticks on the side. Enjoy!
