Do you love Buffalo chicken dip and warm flour tortillas? If so, this recipe is for you. I combined two favorites into one crowd-pleasing snack: Buffalo Chicken Taquitos.
Buffalo chicken dip is a staple at our gatherings and on Game Day, so I wanted to reinvent it as a handheld. Taquitos felt like the perfect vehicle. Wrapping the creamy, tangy Buffalo filling in a flour tortilla was a win—crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor.
My husband, a serious Buffalo wing fan, gives these taquitos two thumbs up. I do swap one ingredient from the classic dip: instead of canned chicken I prefer shredded rotisserie chicken for better texture and flavor, but you can use canned chicken if that’s what you have on hand.
Lacie’s Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips
- Serving size depends on whether you keep the taquitos whole or cut them in half. Keep them whole for fewer servings or cut them to stretch the batch.
- Set out a dipping bowl of ranch dressing; blue cheese also pairs nicely with Buffalo flavors.
- Offer extra Buffalo sauce for anyone who likes an extra kick.
