Buffalo Chicken Taquitos

When my best friend Tara introduced us to “buffalo chicken dip” a few years ago, we fell in LOVE with Frank’s hot sauce.  I saw this recipe on pinterest and could not resist. I’m happy to report it was as amazing as I had hoped. It didn’t take long to make at all and the chicken mixture could easily be prepared ahead of time. The Mr. likes his food a little on the spicy side, so I seasoned the chicken with Cajun seasoning when I cooked it. We are also “sauce people” so I used the extra Frank’s to mix with a few tablespoons of ranch dressing for a dipping sauce. The picture just doesn’t do it justice.
