Buffalo Chicken Taquitos – Crispy, Cheesy & Perfectly Spicy
These Buffalo Chicken Taquitos are crispy, cheesy, and packed with spicy flavor. Rolled in flour tortillas and baked or fried to golden perfection, they make the ultimate game-day snack, appetizer, or quick family dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce adjust to taste
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 10 fajita-sized flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
- Prepare filling: In a large bowl, mix together shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese until well combined.
- Assemble taquitos: Place about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling onto the lower third of each tortilla. Roll tightly to form taquitos.
- Bake taquitos: Arrange rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush with oil. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Serve warm with ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or extra buffalo sauce for dipping.
Notes
- To make them extra crispy, lightly pan-fry taquitos in oil instead of baking.
- You can swap flour tortillas with corn tortillas if preferred (warm them before rolling to avoid cracking).
- Add diced jalapeños or green onions for extra flavor.
