These taquitos are creamy inside and crisp outside, and nobody misses the frying. Shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, cream cheese, ranch seasoning and cheddar are mixed together, rolled in tortillas and baked until golden. A rotisserie chicken makes them a 30-minute supper.

Rolling the taquitos

How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Taquitos

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Mix the chicken, bacon, cream cheese, ranch dressing, ranch seasoning and cheese in a bowl.
  3. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling along one edge of each tortilla and roll up tightly.
  4. Place seam side down on the pan, close together, and brush with melted butter.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden and crisp at the ends.
  6. Cool 5 minutes and serve with ranch or salsa.

Tips

  • Warm the tortillas for 20 seconds in the microwave so they roll without cracking.
  • Seam side down keeps them closed.
  • Don’t overfill, or the filling will leak.

Serving and Storing

Serve hot with ranch, salsa or sour cream. Leftovers keep 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.
