Ingredients for the Buffalo Sauce
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup Lola’s Original Hot Sauce
1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
salt and black pepper, to taste
Ingredients for the Base & Filling
2 cups Shredded Cooked Chicken Rotisserie or poached
12 Corn Tortillas Adjusted from 6–8 to match the 6-serving/12-taquito yield
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Freshly grated for optimal emulsification
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
1/4 cup Red Onion finely minced
2 tbsp Green Onion thinly sliced
1/2 cup Neutral Oil Grapeseed, Canola, or Vegetable oil for high-heat frying
The Dipping Sauce (Previously Missing Components)
1/2 cup Lola’s Mild salsa
Instructions
- Prepare the buffalo sauce; Combine melted butter, Lola’s Original Hot sauce, white vinegar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small pot and heat on medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir frequently. Remove from heart and set aside.
- Prep the Filling; In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, cheese, Greek yogurt, minced red onions, garlic powder, and sea salt. Stir until the protein is evenly coated and the aromatics are fully integrated.
- Warm the Tortillas; To ensure pliability, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 45 seconds. This steam-hydration method prevents the corn tortillas from cracking during the rolling process.
- Roll the Taquitos; Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third of each tortilla. Roll tightly to create a compact cylinder and place seam-side down on a baking sheet to set the shape.
- Fry Until Golden; Heat 1/2 cup neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Carefully place taquitos seam-side down to seal the closure instantly. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side until a uniform golden crust forms.
- Serve & Enjoy! Arrange on a platter. Serve immediately with Lola’s Mild salsa on the side to maintain the structural crispness of the tortilla.
