Buffalo Ranch Chicken Taquitos

Buffalo ranch chicken taquitos are one of my favs, tbh I’m obsessed with anything buffalo. These feature a spicy, cheesy, tangy chicken filling, rolled up in a corn tortilla and fried till golden.

Info and tips for buffalo ranch chicken taquitos

I found that using a 50/50 mix of corn and flour tortilla works the best for this recipe. The 100% corn tortillas are a little more difficult to work with as they rip easily. Either way, I do recommend heating up the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable.

You can use a store bought rotisserie chicken if you want to skip the step of cooking the chicken yourself to save time! Also make sure your cream cheese is softened before adding it to the mixture. You can pop it in the microwave for 15-30 seconds or leave it at room temp a couple hours before starting the recipe.

Equipment

I used my Our Place Always Pan for this recipe and it works great!
