Description

Deliciously crispy taquitos filled with shredded chicken, tangy buffalo sauce, and creamy cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked (about 20 minutes). Allow to cool before shredding.
  3. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and cream cheese until well mixed.
  4. Lay tortillas flat and fill each with the chicken mixture. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Place rolled taquitos seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve topped with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

Brush taquitos with a light layer of oil before baking for extra crispiness. Avoid overfilling to prevent ripping the tortillas.
