Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. Fold in Frank's Red Hot Sauce, chopped scallions, and shredded mozzarella. Mix in shredded chicken until well coated.
  4. Steam tortillas in a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds in the microwave to soften.
  5. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the bottom third of each tortilla and roll tightly, folding in the sides.
  6. Brush the tops of the taquitos with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
  7. Switch to broil for an extra 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden crust, monitoring closely.
  8. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
