Best Taquitos With Creamy Jalapeño Sauce Recipes

CREAMY JALAPEñO CHICKEN TAQUITOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a sauce pan, over medium-high heat, combine all taquito filling ingredients. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
• Place about 2 tablespoons of filling across the tortilla about ⅓ of the way up from the bottom of the tortilla, and roll the tortilla around the filling.
• Heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully, place 3-4 taquitos in the oil, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. (Frying them seam side down first helps them stay closed during frying!)
• Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on the taquito on a paper towel.
• Place cooked taquitos on a bed of lettuce and garnish with crema, cilantro, cotija, and avocado.
• Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER JALAPENO POPPER TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Combine chicken thighs, cream cheese, jalapeno peppers with juice, green enchilada sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a slow cooker.
• Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours. Shred chicken with 2 forks and stir with sauce in the slow cooker to combine.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Spread tortillas out on a flat work surface and sprinkle pepperjack cheese evenly in the center of each tortilla. Spread about 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture over cheese on each tortilla. Tightly roll each tortilla and place, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush top and sides of each rolled tortilla with vegetable oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts, and tortillas start to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Cook taquitos under the broiler until crisped, 2 to 3 minutes more.
