QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN TAQUITOS



Quick and Easy Chicken Taquitos image

My kids love the taquitos we get at the grocery store in the freezer aisle. They would happily eat them every day. However, the mean mommy that I am, am working on reducing the amount of processed food in our diet so I had to try homemade. After checking all the recipes for taquitos I could find, I decided to mix it up and create my own! So I took ideas from about 4 different recipes and went to town. My kids and husband have given their seal of approval. My very picky 3-year-old even had seconds! I serve them on a bed of lettuce with sour cream and do Mexican rice on the side.

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ pound shredded cooked chicken
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®), drained
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

  • Feel free to experiment with different fillings, such as beef, pork, or vegetables.
