Girl, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving fix that I discovered during one of those can’t-sleep-must-eat moments! I call it the “Crispy Buffalo Chicken Taquitos” – and trust me, once you try these bad boys, you’ll be sneaking to the kitchen at midnight too! 😉
These taquitos are seriously addictive – crispy on the outside, creamy and spicy on the inside, and they take just 15 minutes to whip up. Perfect for those late-night munchies when you want something that feels a bit naughty but oh-so-nice!
Here’s what you’ll need (I know you’ve got these in your kitchen!):
– Shredded rotisserie chicken (or leftover chicken)
– Cream cheese (softened)
– Buffalo sauce (I use Frank’s, but you do you, honey!)
– Small corn or flour tortillas
– Shredded cheddar cheese
– Ranch seasoning packet
– Oil for frying
Now, let me walk you through this magic:
1. Mix your shredded chicken with softened cream cheese, a generous splash of buffalo sauce (I won’t judge if you add extra 💁♀️), and a sprinkle of ranch seasoning.
1. Warm up those tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds – nobody likes a broken taquito!
1. Spoon that heavenly mixture onto each tortilla, add a pinch of shredded cheese, and roll them up tight like little cigars.

1. Heat oil in a pan (medium heat, we’re not trying to start a fire at midnight!)
1. Fry those babies for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
1. Drain on paper towels and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Pro tip: I like to drizzle extra buffalo sauce on top because, honestly, is there such thing as too much sauce? 🔥
The best part? These taquitos are perfectly portable – so you can sneak back to bed without leaving evidence in the kitchen (except for that amazing smell, but we’ll blame it on the neighbors! 😂).
