This is my version of a Mexican Taquito. My family loves both Buffalo chicken and Mexican food, so that is how this recipe came to be. Combining spicy Buffalo flavors with the creaminess of Philadelphia cream cheese, all wrapped up in a tortilla was a winning combination in our home.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 12 soft taco, flour tortillas
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 4 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup Frank's hot sauce
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. In a small sauce pot over medium low heat, melt butter.
  3. Add Mrs. Dash, garlic powder and Cajun seasoning. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add cream cheese and stir until melted and completely combined with butter and spices.
  5. Wisk in hot sauce and milk and simmer for 5 – 8 minutes. Add salt to taste.
  6. Combine chicken and sauce.
  7. Lay out a tortilla; fill with about ¼ - 1/3 cup chicken and 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.
  8. Tightly roll up taquito and place on a greased baking sheet; repeat until chicken is gone.
  9. Brush taquitos with vegetable oil on all sides.
  10. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes; rotate them every 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  11. Serve with Kraft Blue Cheese Dressing and celery sticks.

    When posting recipes PLEASE list all ingredients. I purchase all ingredients yesterday to make today and Cajun seasoning was not listed in the ingredients. My husband is making a special trip to the store to get now.
