Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken

- 8–10 small flour tortillas
- Vegetable oil for frying (or olive oil spray if baking)
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until coated. Taste and adjust heat.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto one side, leaving the far edge clear. Sprinkle with cheddar.
- Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Place taquitos seam-side down and fry until golden and crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Transfer cooked taquitos to paper towels to drain. Remove toothpicks.
- Serve hot with blue cheese or ranch for dipping.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use plant-based cheddar or skip the cheese and add diced celery for crunch. To mimic buffalo sauce, mix hot sauce with melted butter in a 2:1 ratio.
