Instructions

Step 1

Put the chicken breasts in your slow cooker and pour in the chicken broth. Sprinkle on some paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it cook on low for about 4 hours, until the chicken is nice and tender. Once it’s done, drain out the broth and use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. Stir in the Buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch dressing mix until everything’s well combined. Keep it on low for another hour so the flavors can really come together.

Step 2

When you’re ready, preheat your oven to 425°F. Grab your tortillas and spoon some of the chicken mixture onto each one, then sprinkle with cheese. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet that won’t stick. Brush the taquitos all over with a little oil to help them crisp up. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes so they get golden and crispy all around.

Serving Suggestions

Storage Tips

Store leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 375°F until crispy again. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make them soggy.
