Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened Ensure the cream cheese is soft for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Use sharp cheddar for more flavor.
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing You can substitute with garlic sauce or creamy Caesar dressing.
For assembly
  • 12 small flour tortillas Use small tortillas for easy rolling.
  • 1 can cooking spray To help with browning the taquitos.
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get ready for that perfect crunch.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing until well-combined.
Assembling
  1. Take a tortilla, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center, and roll it tightly. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
  2. Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray to encourage browning.
Baking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden and crispy.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes. For meal prepping, freeze unbaked taquitos for up to two months and bake directly from the freezer, increasing the baking time slightly.
