BBQ Chicken Taquitos are filled with shredded rotisserie chicken, bbq sauce, corn, cream cheese, and Pepper Jack cheese and baked in the oven until crispy. They make an amazing snack or appetizer and are perfect for football watching. Even your pickiest eater will love these Taquitos.

Use your favorite BBQ Sauce. I like to use one that is sweet and tangy.

I used small flour tortillas becasue I like them better than corn, but you could use corn tortillas if that is what you like.

Since this recipe uses rotisserie chicken, it can be made in no time at all. The only slightly time consuming part is arranging the filling on the tortillas and rolling them up. But if you have kids, it’s the perfect activity to keep them busy.

It helps to heat the tortillas first so they are more pliable and less likely to tear. I place them on a plate, cover them with a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 20 seconds.

Just a touch of cream cheese makes the filling super creamy and helps hold it together. I added corn because I love how it tastes with anything BBQ but you could leave it out or use black beans instead.

For BBQ Sauce I like a sauce that’s thick and sweet like Kraft Barbecue Sauce.

BBQ Chicken Taquitos are awesome on there own, but even better if you dip them in Ranch dressing.
