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.

TRADITIONAL MEXICAN CHICKEN TAQUITOS
Crunchy taquitos make a wonderful snack. These crispy tubes are filled with a spicy chicken mixture. Serve them with some creamy guacamole to counteract the spicy kick.

Steps:
- Put the chicken breasts in a 4-quart pan, add salt and water, and loosely cover. Bring to the boil then simmer gently for an hour.
- Drain, saving the broth. Set the chicken aside to cool then chop into small pieces.
- Add the oil to the same pot and sauté the bell peppers and onion until tender. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until warmed through.
- Blend the tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic, and oregano in a blender and add this mixture to the pan, as well as 2 cups of the broth. Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt to taste.
- Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the tortillas one at a time until they are soft. This takes about 5 seconds per tortilla. Drain well. Strain the liquid from the chicken and put a tablespoon of chicken in the middle of each tortilla.
- Roll the tortilla around the chicken to make a flute shape. Use toothpicks to hold the shape. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and fry them in batches for a couple of minutes or until they hold their shape without the toothpicks.
- Remove the toothpicks and serve three taquitos on each plate with guacamole for dipping.
