Easy homemade Chicken Taquitos made with shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and a creamy salsa blend rolled in tortillas and baked or fried until crispy.

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.

Provided by Chungah Rhee

Categories     appetizer

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups leftover shredded rotisserie chicken
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies
4 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounces Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more, to taste
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
6 cups canola oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, green chiles, cheeses, cilantro, chili powder, cumin and hot sauce. Working one at a time, transfer tortilla to a work surface; place 1/3 cup chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper. Bring the bottom edge of the tortilla tightly over the filling, rolling from bottom to top until the top of the tortilla is reached; secure with wooden picks. Repeat with remaining tortilla and filling. Heat canola oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees F. Working in batches, add taquitos to the Dutch oven and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. When cool enough to handle, remove wooden picks. Serve immediately.
