Another 30 Minute Thursday is coming at ya, friends!

I always love sharing my newest 30 minute creations with you because I like to challenge myself to create quick and easy dishes. Pumpkin ‘N Spice is all about the simple recipes, but when it involves just 30 minutes or less, from start to finish, that’s got to be a favorite of mine.

We could all use more quick and tasty meals in our life, right? Especially during busy weeknights!

And one of my favorites just so happens to involve a few staple ingredients and lots of flavor.

Trust me when i say that these Baked Chicken Ranch Taquitos are easy to make. And soooo good! The secret to make these super speedy is to use the store-bought rotisserie chicken that’s already shredded for you. I love picking up a few of these containers for when I’m pressed on time and don’t want to cook the chicken myself.

Of course, you could definitely cook and shred your own chicken, but if you’re looking for a fast fix, the pre-shredded chicken works wonders!

Now, let’s talk about that cream cheese filling! A block of cream cheese, some dry ranch dressing mix, and touch of cayenne pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and cilantro…that’s it! It’s smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. Plus, the cayenne pepper gives it just a hint of spice!

After the cream cheese mixture is form, pile it onto some tortilla shells, roll tightly, and place into the oven. In about 15 minutes, these Baked Chicken Taquitos are ready to be devoured.

Some tips to remember:

  • To save time, use the store-bought rotisserie shredded chicken. That way, you can skip cooking and shredding your own chicken.
  • Be sure to lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with non-stick cooking spray. That will ensure that they don’t get too brown and crispy.

I like to serve these Baked Chicken Ranch Taquitos with some salsa and sour cream, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. The best part about this 30 minute meal is that it’s so versatile!

So, if you’re looking for a family friendly (and freezer-friendly!) meal, these taquitos will hit the spot. Easy to make and even better to eat, you’ll love the zesty and delicious flavors!
