Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

olive oil cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
1 ½ cups finely chopped tomatoes
½ cup minced onion
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
⅓ cup chicken broth
¼ cup taco sauce
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken
24 (6 inch) corn tortillas
3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce, or to taste
½ cup sour cream
½ cup guacamole, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a large baking pan with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers, then stir in chicken broth, taco sauce, flour, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt. Cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add shredded chicken, mixing vigorously until ingredients are well blended; cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Wrap 8 tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high until soft and flexible, about 30 seconds. Repeat twice more to heat remaining tortillas.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons chicken mixture down the center of a tortilla and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Roll tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat to form remaining taquitos. Spray taquitos with cooking spray and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and taquitos are crispy, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • Place shredded lettuce on a serving platter and arrange taquitos on top. Serve with sour cream and guacamole.

These taquitos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
