Best Shredded Chicken And Cheese Taquitos Recipes

SHREDDED CHICKEN AND CHEESE TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a large saucepan. Pour in cool water until chicken is covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred meat with 2 forks when cool enough to handle. Discard poaching liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, olives, chiles, water, and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add Mexican cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
• Warm tortillas on a griddle over medium-high heat until soft, about 10 seconds per side. Add chicken filling to each tortilla, roll up tightly, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are brown, about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cheese, green salsa, and onion. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture onto tortillas, or enough so that when rolled up, each one is about 1 inch wide. Filling should not come to close to the ends, or it will fall out. Secure rolls with toothpicks.
• Fry rolls 4 or 5 at a time so there is enough room between them for even cooking. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Once they float, I leave them in for about another minute. If the taquitos are not crisp when cool, you haven't cooked them long enough. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sour cream, salsa and guacamole for dipping.
