Follow The Directions

01

Step

Place chicken breasts into the slow cooker and pour in chicken broth. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook on Low until the chicken is very tender, about 4 hours.

02

Step

Drain the broth from the slow cooker. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Add Buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and ranch dressing mix; stir until everything is thoroughly combined. Cook on Low until the flavors have melded together beautifully, about 1 hour.

03

Step

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

04

Step

Spoon the Buffalo chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then sprinkle generously with the Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down on a nonstick baking sheet. Lightly brush all sides of the taquitos with peanut oil.

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven, turning every 5 minutes, until the taquitos are golden brown and delightfully crispy, about 15 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of garlic powder or onion powder to the chicken while it's cooking in the slow cooker.
If you prefer a smoother filling, use an electric mixer to combine the shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch dressing mix.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or extra Buffalo wing sauce.

    I didn't have ranch dressing mix so I used dill and some other spices I found, and it was SO GOOD!

    I used Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese to lighten them up a bit, and they were still delicious!
