Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Main Course

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cooked shredded chicken ((I use rotisserie))
6 ounces cream cheese (, softened)
1/4 cup salsa (, your favorite kind)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup baby spinach leaves (, chopped)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper (for taste)
15-20 corn or flour tortillas
guacamole, sour cream, salsa, hot sauce

Steps:

  • Add cream cheese, salsa and sour cream to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add remaining ingredients (except the tortillas) and toss to combine. Taste and add more seasoning, if needed.
  • For corn tortillas, heat a non-stick griddle over medium high heat. Cook tortillas for about 15 - 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Remove tortillas to a plate covered with tinfoil to keep them warm and pliable.
  • Place a large spoonful of filling in a line along each tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  • Baked Taquitos: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the tops of the tacos with cooking spray , or brush them lightly with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the shells are crispy.
  • Fried Taquitos: Add about 1 1/2 inches of oil to a large skillet and heat to medium-high. Once hot (the tortillas should sizzle immediately when added to the oil). Fry the taquitos in small batches, for a few seconds on each side, rotating them as they cook, until they are golden and crispy on all sides. Place them on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Serve taquitos with guacamole, salsa and sour cream.

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.

¾ pound shredded cooked chicken
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon minced garlic

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to make quick work of shredding the chicken. This will save you time and effort, especially if you're making a large batch of taquitos.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also shred the chicken by hand. Just use two forks to pull the chicken apart into small pieces.
  • Be sure to season the chicken well. This will help to give the taquitos flavor.
  • Use a variety of toppings for your taquitos. This will help to add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Serve the taquitos with your favorite dipping sauce. This will help to add even more flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious meal that everyone will love.
