Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
Ingredients
2 c. shredded rotisserie chicken for the dipping sauce:
4 oz. cream cheese ½ c. ranch or blue cheese dressing
½ c. ranch or blue cheese dressing ¼ c. Franks buffalo or other brand hot sauce
¼ c. Frank`s buffalo sauce 2 green onion, chopped
¼ c. blue cheese crumbles
½ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
10 soft corn tortillas
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
1. Make the sauce by just stirring together the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Make the filling by just combining all the ingredients together in a bowl until completely mixed. Set aside.
3. Heat the tortillas to make them pliable by stacking them on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave 45 seconds or so.
4. Roll the taquitos by adding 2 or 3 tbsp. of the filling mix to the lower third of the tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam side down on a sheet pan or plate. Continue until all the filling is used up. It may require a few more tortillas to use the filling.
5. Set a large skillet with about ¼ inch of oil in it over med-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the taquitos seam side down about 2 or 3 minutes then flip and brown the other side. If they brown too fast be sure to turn the heat down.
6. Place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil. Serve warm with the dip.

2 large sweet potatoes or yams 1 c. panko bread crumbs
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tbsp. butter, melted
2 tbsp. sugar 2 tbsp. sugar
Salt and pepper to taste ¼ tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. cornstarch

1. Preheat oven to 400. Place the sweet potatoes on a parchment lined sheet pan, and place them in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until soft. This could also be done in a microwave for 6-7 minutes.
2. While the potatoes cook, make the breading by adding all the breading ingredients except the butter in a food processor and blend. As it blends, drizzle in the melted butter. Put in a bowl and set aside.
3. When the potatoes are done, peel them and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the cinnamon, sugar, and a little salt and pepper. Mash until combined. Don`t mash it too much because you want it to be a little chunky, not pureed. Place in the fridge to chill.
4. Preheat your oven to 375. Take the sweet potato mash and take 1 tbsp. of the mix and form into a tot shape. Roll it in the breading mix and place on a parchment lined sheet pan. Continue until all of the mash is used up. Bake for 20 minutes, flip and bake an additional 15-20 minutes. Serve warm with ketchup or other favorite dip or sauce.
