Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast or rotisserie chicken
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for brushing or spraying
  • For the creamy sour cream dip:
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sliced green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well coated and creamy.
  3. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave (about 15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel) to make them pliable.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture along one edge of each tortilla. Roll tightly, folding the sides in if needed, to form a snug cylinder. Place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Brush or spray the taquitos lightly with olive oil.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. While taquitos bake, prepare the creamy sour cream dip by combining sour cream, ranch seasoning, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir well and chill until ready to serve. Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired.
  8. Serve the taquitos hot with the creamy sour cream dip on the side.

Notes

Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Brush taquitos with oil for crispiness. Flip halfway through baking for even browning. Chill the sour cream dip for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Reheat leftovers in oven to maintain crispiness. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free corn tortillas. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese and sour cream alternatives.
