Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (see notes for dairy free)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (see notes for dairy free)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the taquitos.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix the chicken filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, and garlic powder. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and evenly coated.
- Warm the tortillas: Microwave the corn tortillas for about 20 seconds to soften them, which helps prevent cracking or tearing when rolling.
- Assemble the taquitos: Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling onto each tortilla, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them closed during baking.
- Bake the taquitos: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. These taquitos are delicious on their own or paired with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute plain Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative and use a dairy-free cheddar cheese substitute.
- Warm tortillas carefully to avoid drying out; covering with a damp paper towel in the microwave can help retain moisture.
- Leftover taquitos can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
