Buffalo Chicken Taquitos

Print Recipe

Delicious and crispy Buffalo Chicken Taquitos, perfect for snacks or game day gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Oil for frying
  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine your shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Mix well, ensuring every piece of chicken is coated.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: If using flour tortillas, pop them on a skillet over low heat for about 10–15 seconds on each side to soften. For corn tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds.
  3. Assemble the Taquitos: Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla. Roll it up tightly, starting from the bottom, and tucking in the sides as you go.
  4. Fry Time: In a deep skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place your taquitos seam-side down in the oil. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  5. Drain and Cool: As each batch is done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  6. Serve with Style: Arrange your taquitos on a platter with a small bowl of blue cheese or ranch for dipping.

Notes

For an extra creamy filling, add a couple of tablespoons of cream cheese to the chicken mixture.
