Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
I know, I post buffalo chicken recipes a lot. I can't help it - we love them! So here's another one:
I have never made my own taquitos before, and I'm now a huge fan of doing so. In my opinion, homemade is way better. I'm actually not a huge fan of taquitos from the store or even a restaurant, but they're pretty delicious when you make them yourself. Anyway, these were awesome. I made a ton and we pretty much gobbled them all up that night. Mmm. I followed the recipe pretty closely, though I can't remember if I served them with sour cream or Ranch dressing. (Instead of blue cheese dressing). It was over a month ago. :-) Both sound good though. I will definitely be making them again.
