I’m so sorry, but I totally had to go here. You would think that by now, I’d be tired of the whole buffalo chicken thing. But obviously, I’m obsessed. (If you missed it, I even compiled a list of 51 different buffalo chicken inspired recipes from around the web.) And I’m not even going to pretend that this will be the last buffalo chicken recipe that I will post, because I’ll probably think up something else tomorrow that I just have to make. So consider yourself warned.
I was thinking about the big game coming up, and being obsessed with the food part of Super Bowl Sunday, I was trying to come up with some good ideas for football food. Then I remembered the Chicken, Bacon and Cream Cheese Mini Taquitos that I made last year around this time. Taquitos are great game food, in my opinion, and buffalo anything is perfect for game day. So from that, these chicken taquitos were born!
I took some inspiration from the delicious Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos that I made awhile back from Our Best Bites. I cannot make baked taquitos without sprinkling them with salt because of those chicken taquitos. The buffalo chicken filling is similar to the filling I used on the Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls. (Which would also be perfect for game day!) These are made in a snap by using Swanson® Premium Chunk Chicken, so you can have them done in just over half an hour. Easy, delicious and crowd pleasing!!

- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ⅛ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- ⅛ cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 can (12.5-ounce) Swanson® Premium Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, drained
- 8 8-inch flour tortillas
- coarse Kosher salt
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and buffalo sauce. Mix well. Stir in the Monterey jack cheese, blue cheese crumbles and chicken; mix well.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll up. If needed, microwave the tortillas for about 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable enough to roll. Place on a baking sheet. Spray the taquitos with cooking spray, then sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.

Ohhh, I love me some Franks Red Hot! These are the perfect Super Bowl food!!!
please don’t be sorry — i love anything buffalo and i’m so glad you compiled the list so i don’t have go searching! 😉 these taquitos make me feel that they’re guilt free — cause i mean, anything baked, not fried, is healthy, right? 🙂
OMG. We’re totes on the same page today. THIS. LOOKS. LIKE. A. DREAM.
These look fantastic. Would be a perfect addition to a snack table 🙂
You’re an evil buffalo chicken genius and I really, really like that about you.
Ummm, these look amazing – making them soon!
I actually have the Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos from Our Best Bites on my meal plan for later this week. But these look so good that I think I am going to change it up and make your Buffalo Chicken version!
Genius! We love baked taquitos and we LOVE buffalo chicken. These have awesome written all over them. Definitely going to be trying these ASAP!
Sign me up! I too am obsessed with the beloved buffalo – keep ’em coming!
I’m so glad you DID go there! What a marvelous recipe. Love anything buffalo chicken!
These are fabulous! I am such a fan of all things Buffalo and incorporating this delicious Buffalo chicken into taquitos is such a clever idea!
You TOTALLY HAD to go here. I think we were meant to be friends! 🙂
One can never tire of buffalo-flavored anything. It’s a scientific fact.
Chicken and red hot sauce were made for each other!
“buffalo” has got to be the most popular flavor when it comes to superbowl foods. One can never have too many recipes!
Oh my, this sounds fantastic. I’d switch to whole wheat tortillas and I’d be good.
the best combination ever, taquitos are always great for almost any ocassion, yours look mouth watering
I love buffalo sauce on ANYTHING! And I love baked taquitos, one of my favorite posts from last year was a baked chicken and roasted red pepper taquito, I bet these are to die for!
YUM! We adore chicken taquitos, and I’m sure these will be a hit too! Definitely trying this, thanks!
Now these look good! I’m not usually that into buffalo chicken (my boys are) but I could easily get behind these. 🙂
I could never tire of a good Buffalo chicken recipe. I can’t get enough of Frank’s:-). These look yummy. Perfect for dipping in Blue Cheese, too!
I’ve been obsessed with thinking of snacks for the Superbowl party also so I can totally relate. While I’ve made creamy chicken taquitos in the past, I’ve never had the buffalo version…I will be trying these..thanks.
Totally agree with Becki (earlier comment), I am always up for another buffalo chicken recipe! Thanks for the inspiration!

Made these for dinner last night! Husband and son loved them! Very similar to chicken wing dip and they were absolutely amazing, I will be making these again. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
I have made baked taquitos for years! I actually make three kinds at once; beef, chicken, and vegetarian with beans. I use choppoed onion and corn in all of them. TIP: The absolute BEST chicken is a store bought rotisserie shredded right when you get it home. Spray a little Pam on them before baking; the salt will stick better and they will be crispy without being greasy!
Oh how perfect! I have a house warming this weekend & a super bowl party coming up. I can just see all the men in the room gobbling these up! Thank you so much–printing recipe now 🙂
My goodness, these look like tasty little snacks! My guys will go crazy for them!
Saved this forever ago on FoodGawker and have been holding out for Superbowl Sunday. They were a hit! I got many compliments from my friends. I’m from Texas, so we love TexMex and this was a great fusion. I would add a bit more wing sauce next time to accentuate the flavors. I also used smaller tortillas to produce more authentically-sized taquitos.
@Becca, I’m so glad they were a hit!
I made these tonight for a Super Bowl party. They were delicious!!! I liked dipping them in ranch dressing. Way to go Giants!!!
My family love these and this year I’m switching them up a bit. I’m featuring this recipe as part of my way to makeover Thanksgiving Leftovers. I’ll be swapping out the chicken for leftover turkey. Check it out here. http://reachforthestarberries.com/2012/11/20/great-ways-to-makeover-thanksgiving-leftovers/
@Cari, I love the idea of making these into Thanksgiving leftovers! Thanks for the link!
Hi, I noticed in the background of your picture the hot sauce, but your recipe says buffalo sauce. Is that wing sauce I see on the store shelves or hot sauce? I noticed Becca used wing sauce, others use frank’s hot sauce.
@Danielle, you can use either wing sauce or frank’s hot sauce – which I use to make wings. Frank’s even makes a buffalo sauce.
Yum! I just made a scaled down batch of these. Already in my recipe file!
Making these tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe.
How could anyone be tired of Buffalo chicken? These look divine!
What else can be used instead of blue cheese…. I don’t like blue cheese. Thanks for the help.
I would just leave it out, or add a little more Monterey Jack cheese.
Thank you, Deborah
My daughter (she’s 10) is a hot sauce fanatic, so I decided to try those for dinner tonight. I did add a bit more hot sauce, because I know how much she loves it, and I left out the bleu cheese since we don’t have any, and just as soon as they’re done I’m sure we’ll have rave reviews for them. Thanks so much for the recipe, my daughter will be a VERY happy little girl! 🙂
I love that your daughter is a hot sauce fanatic! I hope she loved them – I know I do!
Can you post the link to the original recipe that was here? Was 4 cups of chicken, more wing sauce, etc. This wasn’t the one up just a few months back. Is the link in the top of the blog and I missed it?
Hmmm, I haven’t changed this recipe at all. Was it maybe a different blog you were looking at?
