Okay queens and kings, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving that’ll have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen at 2 AM! As someone who’s notorious for late-night munchies, I’ve perfected what I call the “Crispy Buffalo Chicken Taquitos” – and trust me, they’re absolutely divine! 💁♀️
These bad boys are the perfect combination of crispy, spicy, and oh-so-satisfying. The best part? You can whip them up in just 15 minutes using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (store-bought is fine, honey – we’re not trying to be Martha Stewart at midnight!)
– 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (I use Frank’s RedHot because duh!)
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 8 small flour tortillas
– Ranch or blue cheese for dipping
– Oil for frying
Y’all, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance! 💃
Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Mix your shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and cheddar. (Pro tip: if your cream cheese isn’t soft enough, pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds – works like a charm!)
1. Warm your tortillas slightly so they’re pliable. Nobody wants a cracked taquito, am I right?
1. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of mixture on each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed (I usually do because I’m clumsy AF at midnight 😅)
1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, place your taquitos seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
1. Drain on paper towels and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
The end result? Crispy, spicy, cheesy perfection that’ll make you forget all about those basic microwave meals!
Listen, I know we’re all busy people who sometimes need a quick fix, but trust your girl when I say these are worth the extra few minutes. They’re perfect for those late-night cravings, unexpected guests, or when you’re just feeling fancy while binge-watching your favorite show.
