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:


  • 4 cup(s) of chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 12 soft taco, flour tortillas
  • 2 cup(s) of mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 4 ounce(s) of Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup(s) of Frank’s hot sauce
  • 1/3 cup(s) of milk
  • 2 tbsp. of butter
  • 1 tsp. of Mrs. Dash
  • 1 tsp. of garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp. of vegetable oil
*Note to make a lower calorie/fat version of this.  Use the Fat Free or 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese.
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. In a small sauce pot over medium low heat, melt butter.
  3. Add Mrs. Dash, garlic powder. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add cream cheese and stir until melted and completely combined with butter and spices.
  5. Wisk in hot sauce and milk and simmer for 5 – 8 minutes. Add salt to taste.
  6. Combine chicken and sauce.
  7. Lay out a tortilla; fill with about ¼ – 1/3 cup chicken and 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.
  8. Tightly roll up taquito and place on a greased baking sheet; repeat until chicken is gone.
  9. Brush taquitos with vegetable oil on all sides.
  10. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes; rotate them every 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  11. Serve with Kraft Blue Cheese Dressing and celery sticks.


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.
