Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or colby jack cheese
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 pieces green onions sliced
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Ranch dressing for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and creamy.
  2. Next, fold in the shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese (or colby jack), blue cheese crumbles, sliced green onions, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of each tortilla. Roll them tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Once done, remove the taquitos from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Store leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • For longer storage, freeze unbaked taquitos and bake directly from the freezer.
