Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my absolute favorite midnight craving killer – the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Taquitos! Trust me, when those late-night munchies hit, you’ll thank me for this game-changing recipe that’s about to rock your world.
Picture this: You’re up late, scrolling through your phone, and suddenly your stomach starts doing that annoying growl thing. Been there, done that! Instead of reaching for those boring chips, let’s make something that’ll make your taste buds dance.
Here’s what you’ll need (I promise it’s super simple):
– 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot is my go-to!)
– 8 small flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Ranch or blue cheese for dipping
– Oil for frying
Okay queens (and kings), let’s get cooking! 💁♀️
First, mix that shredded chicken with the cream cheese and buffalo sauce. Don’t be shy with the sauce – we’re not here to play it safe! If you’re loving these kinds of recipes, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily food inspiration that’ll make your friends jealous!
Now, warm up those tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds – this prevents them from cracking when we roll them. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of your chicken mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese (because more cheese = more happiness), and roll them up tight like a tiny burrito.
Here’s my secret tip: secure them with toothpicks before frying. Trust me, I learned this the hard way after a 2 AM cooking disaster that we shall never speak of again! 😅
Heat your oil to 350°F (or just test it with a small piece of tortilla – it should sizzle immediately). Fry these bad boys for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and try not to burn your tongue because I know you’ll want to dive right in!
Serve them up with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and if you’re feeling fancy, throw some chopped green onions on top. Seriously, these are so good, you might need to make a double batch!
