Yield 8 taquitos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 (10 ounce) can white chicken meat packed in water, 98% fat free kind, drained well
1/2 cup salsa
1/3 cup fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 teaspoon taco seasoning mix, dry
red enchilada sauce (optional)
salsa (optional)
nonfat sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and salsa, and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Remove chicken mixture from the fridge, and drain any excess liquid. Add cheese and taco seasoning, and mix to combine. This is your filling. Set aside.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by spraying with nonstick spray, and set it aside.
  • Dampen two paper towels, and place tortillas between them. Microwave for about 1 minute, until tortillas are warm and pliable.
  • Take one tortilla (keep the rest between the paper towels), spray both sides lightly with nonstick spray, and lay it flat on a clean dry surface. Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of filling onto the tortilla. Spread it evenly across the entire surface, and roll tortilla up tightly, so that you have a cigar-shaped tube. Secure with toothpicks and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Bake for 14 - 16 minutes, until crispy. Allow taquitos to cool for 5 minutes. If you like, dunk in enchilada sauce, salsa, or sour cream!
