Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
These buffalo chicken taquitos are perfect for any game day, gathering or as an appetizer….
—Ingredients—
1 rotisserie chicken (shred)
8oz cream cheese
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 packet of ranch seasoning
16oz buffalo sauce (any brand you like)
1/2 cup chopped parsley
25 small flour tortillas
Avocado cooking spray (or any kind)
1. Preheat your oven to 375° F.
2. Shred one rotisserie chicken, put it in a large bowl, then add in the cream cheese, mozzarella, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, parsley and mix really well until everything is all incorporated.
3. For each Taquito, spoon a large tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto each flour tortilla. Roll each tortilla up tightly around the chicken mixture and place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Continue assembling each taquito one at a time until you’re done.
5. Once all taquitos have been assembled and placed on the baking sheet, generously spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray (I used avocado).
6. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with ranch and enjoy!

If you’re looking for ways to make your buffalo chicken taquitos extra crispy, air frying is an excellent option. Simply place the rolled taquitos in a single layer in your air fryer basket, spray them lightly with cooking spray, and cook at 375°F for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and crisp. This method reduces oil use while delivering a crunchy texture. Leftover buffalo chicken dip can also be a fantastic filling alternative for these taquitos—just spoon it into tortillas instead of the original mixture for a quick twist. For dipping, ranch dressing and blue cheese sauce perfectly complement the spicy buffalo flavor. When choosing tortillas, small flour tortillas are ideal for rolling tight taquitos that bake evenly. You can also experiment with corn tortillas for a different texture and flavor, but warm them first to prevent cracking. For an easy make-ahead option, assemble the taquitos and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time. To make your buffalo chicken taquitos a bit healthier, swap out cream cheese for light cream cheese or Greek yogurt and reduce the amount of cheese if desired. Adding chopped fresh parsley or cilantro not only adds flavor but also a fresh touch. Whether you bake or air fry, these buffalo chicken taquitos are sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next party or family meal.
