CANNABIS-INFUSED BUFFALO CHICKEN TAQUITOS
These crunchy buffalo chicken taquitos bring serious late-night energy to the table. Shredded chicken is tossed in a creamy buffalo sauce boosted with cannabis-infused butter, rolled tightly into corn tortillas, and baked until blistered and crispy. The outside shatters with every bite while the inside stays spicy, cheesy, and rich. They’re easy to prep, easy to portion, and ridiculously satisfying when you want something crunchy and bold.
