We make THESE taquitos pretty often so I thought it might be fun to try a different filling. If you like buffalo wings, you'll like these. I was worried they would be too spicy for me and Phoebe (we're the wimps in the family), but these really weren't spicy at all. If you want yours spicy, you'll have to add more Cajun seasoning or even some cayenne pepper.
Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
3-4 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
flour tortillas (I think I used 16 smaller ones from a 20 count bag)
2 cups grated mozzarella
4 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup Frank's hot sauce
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt & pepper
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add seasonings. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. It's probably going to look curdled (mine did), but it's ok. It'll smooth out when you add the milk. Cook for about 1 minute. Whisk in hot sauce and milk and simmer for 5-8 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Combine chicken and sauce. Stir in cheese. Lay out a tortilla and spread about 1/4-1/3 cup chicken mixture to one side. Roll up tightly and place on a greased baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat till all the chicken is gone. Spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 15-18 minutes, rotating every 5 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping.
