1 pound shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken

Time 30m

Yield 3 taquitos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil, more for brushing tortillas
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 cups shredded cooked chicken meat
2 cups low-sodium gluten-free chicken stock
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and oil a baking sheet. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add onion and cook until starting to soften and turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, paprika and salt. Stir to combine and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until fragrant. Take from heat and stir in cilantro and chicken. Set aside.
  • Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a skillet or pot wide enough to hold tortillas. When broth simmers, dip tortillas briefly, one at a time, just to soften, 1 to 2 seconds. Lay tortilla on a work surface and spread 2 or 3 tablespoons chicken mixture over bottom third. Top with a tablespoon of cheese and roll up. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spray or brush tortillas lightly with oil and bake until crisp and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 16 taquitos

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup green chili salsa
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup grated monterey jack pepper cheese
16 small corn tortillas
kosher salt
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.
  • You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.
  • The corn tortillas are harder to roll without cracking. For the corn tortillas: work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or come unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.
  • Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.
  • Then roll it up as tight as you can.
  • Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top.
  • Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Makes around 16 taquitos.

Provided by sassy47

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Taquitos:
Ingredients
2 cups shredded chicken we use rotisserie chicken
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
20 corn tortillas
For the Toppings:
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Guacamole
Sour Cream
Chopped Green Onion
Crumbled Queso Fresco
Pico de Gallo
Salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the cumin, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh lime juice. Stir until chicken is well coated with the seasonings. Stir in the shredded cheese. Get two paper towels damp and place two tortillas at a time in between the paper towels. Place in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and roll up the taquitos. Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the tacquito, seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Continue rolling taquitos until the tortillas and filling are gone. You should have about 20 taquitos. Spray the taquitos generously with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until taquitos are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and serve warm with desired toppings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your taquitos the best flavor.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safe to eat.
  • Shred the chicken finely: This will help the chicken distribute evenly throughout the taquitos.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings, such as beans, rice, or cheese.
  • Roll the taquitos tightly: This will help prevent them from falling apart during baking.
  • Bake the taquitos until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Serve the taquitos with your favorite dipping sauce: Salsa, guacamole, or sour cream are all great options.
