Servings: 6
Calories: 343kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup buffalo sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 small corn or flour tortillas
- Optional for dipping: ranch or additional buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully mixed. Fold in the green onions and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Warm the tortillas (microwave or skillet) until soft and pliable to help prevent tearing when rolling. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture onto one side of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all filling is used.
- Arrange taquitos in a single layer, leaving a little space between each one. Spray the tops lightly with oil spray. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the tortillas are golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with ranch, extra buffalo sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Save time/prep ahead:
- Use rotisserie chicken. It’s the quickest way to assemble a fast batch.
- Prepare the buffalo chicken mixture a day in advance and refrigerate.
- Assemble the taquitos earlier in the day and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Freeze a double batch. Great for busy weeks or quick meals.
- Pre-shred cheese and onions. Saves minutes during assembly and keeps cleanup minimal.
