Instructions
-
Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheese and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
-
Fill the Taquitos
Place about 2–3 tablespoons of buffalo chicken filling in a line near the bottom third of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down.
-
For the Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly spray or brush the taquitos with oil. Arrange seam-side down in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Air fry for 7–10 minutes, turning once if needed, until golden and crispy.
-
For the Oven
Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush with oil. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
-
Serve
Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping and extra buffalo sauce if you like a little more heat.
Note
Rotisserie chicken makes these especially quick and easy.
Don't overfill the tortillas or the filling can escape while they cook.
If your tortillas crack while rolling, warm them for about 15–20 seconds in the microwave first to make them more flexible.
You can adjust the buffalo sauce depending on how spicy you like them.
Make It Gluten-Free
Use your favorite gluten-free tortillas and make sure the buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing are certified gluten-free.
