Upute

First, preheat your oven to 425F. Then, add softened cream cheese to a large bowl and use a spatula to mash it until smooth and spreadable. Add in the buffalo wing sauce, green onion, garlic, ranch seasoning, salt & pepper and stir until combined -- it may look separated at first, but eventually it'll come together. Stir in the shredded chicken and shredded cheeses until combined.

It's important to warm up your tortillas to ensure that they're pliable and don't break. Option 1: warm up your tortillas in a large pan over medium-high heat for about 15 seconds per side. Option 2: wrap your tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds. I recommend doing this in batches, so that they don't get cold while you're wrapping up the other taquitos.

Scoop out about 3-4 tbsp of the buffalo chicken mixture and add it in a line at one end of the tortilla, making sure to leave some room at the edges so it doesn't overflow (see video for reference). Wrap up tightly, making sure the other edge of the tortilla ends up on the bottom of the taquito. Press down slightly. It should make about 9 large taquitos.

Transfer taquitos to a baking sheet and spray (or brush) with oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until crispy and golden. Allow them to cool down for a few minutes before dipping in some homemade ranch dressing. Enjoy!
