- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1/3 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 3 cups shredded chicken rotisserie 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, blue cheese, Frank's hot sauce, 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 1/3 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 blue cheese crumbles, ranch dressing, or Frank's red hot sauce drizzled over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro and diced tomatoes. Enjoy!

Notes
Make-ahead tips: to make ahead, you can mix the chicken filling together up to 24 hours in advance. Store in an airtight container in the fridge, then remove from the fridge about 30 minutes prior to rolling the next day.
Storing leftovers: transfer any leftovers to an airtight container or freezer bag and store for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Reheating: the quickest way to reheat taquitos is in the microwave. Just microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time until warmed through. If you want the outside to crisp up a bit, you can also reheat in a 350 degree oven for about 5-10 minutes until warmed thr
