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.

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup shredded mild white Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup chunky prepared salsa, plus more for serving, optional
Eight 6-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Add enough oil to a heavy bottom straight-sided pan to come 2 inches up the sides. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the chicken, Cheddar, 1/2 cup salsa and the cumin in a medium bowl. Spoon about a 1/4 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
  • Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, place the taquitos in the hot oil and fry, flipping as needed to brown evenly, until crispy and golden brown, about 3 minutes.

  • 2. Saute onion and garlic in oil. Stir in chicken, tomatoes, chiles, broth, flour and spices. Simmer 3-5 minutes.
  • 3. in a heavy 10"(or larger) skillet heat 1" of oil for frying. In a small skillet cover bottom with some oil and warm up to use to dip the tortillas into to soften before filling, draining on paper towels.
  • 4. spoon 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the middle of each tortilla, top with a little cheese if desired. Roll up tightly and secure with a wooden toothpick.
  • 5. Fry rolled up tortillas at 375 until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm in oven while the rest of them are fried. Serve with rice and beans using the garnishes for dipping, watching out for the toothpicks. MUY DELICIOSO!
