Here’s a recipe for creamy chicken taquitos:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 12 small flour tortillas
- Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
- Spoon a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, spreading it out in a line along one edge.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly around the filling to form taquitos. Place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
- Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray or brush them with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the taquitos from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the creamy chicken taquitos hot, garnished with additional chopped cilantro and your favorite dipping sauce (such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream) on the side.
