Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese room temperature
  • ¼ cup Ranch Dressing
  • ¼ cup BBQ Sauce
  • ½ cup Bacon Bits
  • 3 cups Shredded Chicken rotisserie chicken works great
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 24 small Flour Tortillas
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese, ranch dressing, bbq sauce, bacon bits, shredded chicken and cheddar cheese. Mix with a spoon or spatula until well combined.
  • For each taquito, lay a tortilla flat on the counter and spoon about ⅓ cup of chicken filling,  spreading it into a line across the tortilla from one side to the other.  Roll up the taquito tightly around the chicken mixture and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet seam side down.
  • Continue assembling all the taquitos, then brush with melted butter using a pastry brush.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes on one side, then flip the taquitos and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as bacon bits, ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, fresh cilantro and diced tomatoes. Enjoy!
