These tasty Buffalo chicken taquitos are cooked with cream cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce in a slow cooker, then baked with cheese.

Ingredients

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth
1 pinch paprika, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot)
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
2 tablespoons peanut oil

Directions

1 Place chicken breasts into slow cooker; pour in chicken broth. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook on Low until chicken is tender, about 4 hours.
2 Drain broth; shred chicken with 2 forks in the slow cooker. Add Buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch dressing mix; stir until well mixed. Cook on low until flavors are blended, about 1 hour.
