→ Taquito Assembly

09 - 12 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
10 - 2 tablespoons melted butter

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped dill pickles, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, dill, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
03 - Lay out the tortillas. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture along the lower third of each tortilla. Roll up tightly into cylinders.
04 - Place each taquito seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with melted butter or spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
05 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, turning once halfway through baking, until golden brown and crispy.
06 - Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The tang from pickles cuts through all that creamy richness in the most perfect way
  • These come together faster than pizza delivery and disappear just as quickly
  • You can prep everything ahead and bake them right before guests arrive
02 -
  • Warm your tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds before rolling to prevent any cracking or tearing
  • Do not overfill the taquitos or the filling will spill out during baking and make a mess
  • Turn them halfway through baking so every side gets equally golden and crispy
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to snip your cooked chicken into small pieces instead of shredding by hand
  • Pat your pickle pieces dry with a paper towel if your filling seems too wet
