How to Make Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter.
- Add Cajun seasoning and garlic powder; stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in softened cream cheese until melted and smooth.
- Whisk in hot sauce and milk. Simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Add shredded chicken to the sauce and stir to coat completely. Let cool slightly.
- Lay out a tortilla. Place about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese in the center.
- Tightly roll up the taquito and place it seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Brush taquitos with vegetable oil on all sides.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
