1tspcanola or olive oil (optional) *for cooking chicken
4oz.cream cheese
2tbspbuffalo wing sauce*start out with 2 tbsp. add more to taste
2tbspdry ranch seasoning
1cupshredded mozzarella cheese
7-8green onions, chopped fine
10flour tortillas*see notes
cooking spray (optional) * for spraying on the taquitos before baking to make the salt stick
coarse kosher salt (optional) *to sprinkle on before baking
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a baking sheet.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, add your canola oil or olive oil and your chicken. Cook your chicken until it is no longer pink and cooked fully.
Add the cream cheese to the pan and mix into the chicken. Let it melt fully.
Add your buffalo sauce. Add 2 tablespoons to start. Add more buffalo sauce at the end if you think you want more heat.
Next, add in your dry ranch seasoning mix. Mix it fully.
Add in your mozzarella cheese. It will take a minute to melt fully. Keep stirring.
Reduce your heat to medium-low. Add your green onions. Let the cheese keep melting. Add more buffalo sauce now if you want it spicier. Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted. Remove the pan from the heat for rolling the taquitos.
Take 2 to 3 tablespoons and put the filling in the center of your flour tortilla. Roll it up and place it on your parchment paper lined baking sheet (or greased baking sheet) seam side down. Repeat with all of the filling and tortillas.
Spray the taquitos with cooking spray and sprinkle with coarse kosher salt. This is totally optional...you can skip this if you want.
Bake the taquitos for 15-20 minutes until the tortillas start to brown on the edges. Mine bake for 15 minutes, but you can bake them to your liking.
Take them out of the oven when they are done and enjoy! We love to dip our taquitos in ranch or bleu cheese dressing.
Notes
You can use corn tortillas, just use less filling and you will end with more taquitos.For making Buffalo Chicken rollups that are lower calorie, use cream cheese that is 1/3 less fat, cut back on the cheese and use a whole wheat or Carb Counter Tortilla (see below) that have fewer calories! (Not getting paid to promote these tortillas).You can store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days in an airtight container and reheat them in the microwave. You can also freeze any leftover baked taquitos. They will store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Just bake them frozen on 400 degrees Fahrenheit until they are warmed through.You can also freeze these before baking them. Just roll them up, and place them on a baking sheet. Place them in the freezer on the baking sheet for one hour. Then take them out of the freezer, and place them in a freezer zip top bag or freezer container. They need to be put in the freezer separated on the pan for the first little bit so they don't stick together when placed in a bag or container for freezing for a longer period of time
