Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, and Ranch dressing. Use a spatula to mix until smooth.
  2. Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese (or colby jack), blue cheese crumbles, and sliced green onions. Season with black pepper to taste. Mix everything until well combined.
  3. Warm the tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds or on a skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable.
  4. Take a tortilla and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the taquitos for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once baked, remove the taquitos from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with extra Ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze the taquitos before baking for later use.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with sautéed vegetables.
