Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 green onions sliced, divided
  • black pepper to taste
  • 12 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Ranch dressing for serving

Equipment

  • Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Cooking spray
  • Large Bowl
  • hand-held electric mixer
  • Microwave-safe plate
  • plastic wrap or damp paper towel

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, and 2 tablespoons ranch dressing. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Fold in the shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheddar or Colby Jack, blue cheese crumbles, and half of the sliced green onions. Season with black pepper to taste.
  4. Arrange the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for about 40 seconds to soften and make them pliable.
  5. Place about an equal portion of the chicken mixture along the lower third of each tortilla, then roll tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with the remaining sliced green onions, and serve with ranch dressing for dipping or drizzle as desired.

Notes

  • Taquitos can be rolled up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerated tightly covered.
  • Microwaving tortillas briefly makes them easier to roll without cracking.
  • Use cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
