📝 Ingredients :

8 Mission flour tortillas
2 cups Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips, cooked and chopped
1½ cups Kraft shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce
½ cup Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
1½ cups Takis Fuego, finely crushed
2 tbsp melted butter or cooking spray
Optional: 4 oz Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
Optional: extra ranch and hot sauce for serving

🍽️ How to Make It :

1️⃣ Preheat oven:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Prepare chicken:
Cook the Tyson chicken strips according to the package directions, then chop or shred them into small pieces.

3️⃣ Make the filling:
Mix the chicken with ¼ cup Frank’s RedHot, ¼ cup Hidden Valley Ranch, and optional Philadelphia cream cheese.

4️⃣ Add cheese:
Lay one Mission tortilla flat and sprinkle Kraft mozzarella down the center.

5️⃣ Add chicken:
Spoon the buffalo ranch chicken mixture over the cheese.

6️⃣ Add Takis:
Sprinkle a thin layer of crushed Takis Fuego over the filling.

7️⃣ Roll tightly:
Fold in the sides slightly, then roll each tortilla tightly into a taquito. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

8️⃣ Add topping:
Brush the taquitos with melted butter or spray lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle more crushed Takis over the tops.

9️⃣ Bake:
Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden, crisp, and the cheese is melted.

🔟 Finish and serve:
Drizzle with the remaining Frank’s RedHot and Hidden Valley Ranch. Top with extra Takis crumbs and serve warm.

⏱️ Time :

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: about 33 minutes
Servings: 8 taquitos

📝 Notes :

Warm the tortillas for a few seconds before rolling so they do not crack.

Do not overfill the taquitos, or the cheese may leak during baking.

For extra crunch, add the final Takis crumbs immediately after baking.

For the best viral look, cut a few taquitos in half while hot to show the melted mozzarella cheese pull, then drizzle ranch and buffalo sauce across the platter.
