Buffalo Chicken Taquitos are crispy rolled tortillas filled with spicy buffalo chicken, creamy cheese, and savory seasonings. Baked until golden and crunchy, these flavorful taquitos are perfect for game days, parties, or quick family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 10 small flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray or oil
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) or prepare an air fryer if using.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder until well mixed.
  3. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
  4. Spoon a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture onto one side of each tortilla.
  5. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray or brush with oil.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works well for quick preparation.
  • Add mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese for extra meltiness.
  • Diced jalapeños add additional heat and flavor.
  • Corn tortillas can be used for a different texture.
  • Crumbled bacon adds a smoky flavor boost.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the taquitos crispy.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months and reheat directly from frozen.
