Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Shredded Cooked Chicken
  • 6-8 corn Tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Green Onion
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp Melted Butter

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prep the Filling
    In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, and cheese. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated, glossy, and rich. The scent should be tangy and buttery that’s your flavor base.

  • Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each tortilla for 15–20 seconds per side until soft and flexible. This keeps them from cracking when you roll.
  • Step 3: Roll the Taquitos
    Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. The tighter you roll, the crispier they’ll cook.

  • Step 4: Fry Until Golden
    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Carefully place taquitos seam-side down and fry for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.

  • Step 5: Make the Dip
    In a small bowl, mix sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with ranch or blue cheese dressing and a sprinkle of chives. The coolness balances the heat perfectly.

  • Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
    Arrange the taquitos on a platter, drizzle a little extra buffalo sauce over the top, and serve with the dip. Garnish with extra chives or crumbled blue cheese if you’re feeling fancy.
