Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F or set your air fryer to 400°F.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar, mozzarella, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture onto the bottom third of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
Place taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in the air fryer basket.
Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
For oven: Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
For air fryer: Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp.
Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

These can be frozen before baking—just bake from frozen and add 5 extra minutes to the cook time.
Swap flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a gluten-free option (warm them first to prevent cracking).
