Ingredients
  

Protein
  • 1 lb 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce & Cheese
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wraps & Garnishes
  • 8 pieces flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • Chopped green onions (optional)
  • Sour cream (optional)
  • Cilantro (optional)
  • Lime wedges (optional)
  • Extra buffalo sauce (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked (about 20 minutes). Allow to cool before shredding.
  3. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and cream cheese until well mixed.
  4. Lay tortillas flat and fill each with the chicken mixture. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed.
Baking
  1. Place rolled taquitos seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Serve topped with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

Shred warm chicken for easier preparation. Don’t overfill tortillas to prevent bursting. Place seam-side down to ensure crispiness. These taquitos can be assembled and frozen in advance.
