Chicken Taquitos

Taquitos are my kids favorite Mexican items to eat

Chicken Taquito Dinner
Chicken filling for Taquitos

Ingredients:
  1. 3 cups cooked chicken either cubed or shredded (I got rotisserie  chicken from Kroger)
  2. ½ cup each of plain cream cheese, shredded Mexican three cheese blend, ½ up red or green enchilada sauce (store bought)
  3. 2 tablespoons taco seasoning


Tortillas for taquitos (I used 4 medium sized flour tortillas and 10 street size corn tortillas*)

Mix all the ingredients (except tortillas) together till well incorporated and set it in the fridge until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees (Mine was dark baking sheet, so I preheated to 400 degrees)
Lay foil on a baking sheet and spray with non stick cooking spray. Add 1-2 tablespoon of chicken filling to each tortilla and roll into less than 1 inch roll and put it seem side down on the baking sheet. Spray with some more cooking spray on top of the taquitos and bake for 10 minutes. Roll them to a different side and bake for 10 more minutes. Serve with beans, rice and salsa or enjoy as a snack

*Cover the tortillas in a paper towel and add some water on top and bottom of it and heat for 15-20 seconds. This will help in the tortillas not getting torn while rolling
