1. Prepare the Filling:

• Begin by mixing the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. This combination creates a rich and flavorful filling. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly blended.

2. Assemble the Taquitos:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. If using flour tortillas, briefly heat them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. This step helps make them more pliable, preventing tears during rolling.
• Spoon a small amount of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the taquitos with cooking spray or olive oil to achieve a crispier texture.

3. Bake the Taquitos:

• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy. Turning them halfway through ensures even baking and a uniform crunch.

4. Serve:

• Allow the taquitos to cool slightly before serving. Pair them with ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery and carrot sticks, and extra buffalo sauce if desired.
