Creamy Chicken Taquitos Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees
• Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so that it is soft and easy to stir.
• Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
• Then add cilantro and green onions.
• Add chicken and Pepper Jack cheese and combine well.
• Place 2-3 Tablespoons of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges and roll it up as tight as you can. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
• Lay all of the filled taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle some salt on top.
• Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.
• Dip in creamy cilantro dressing if desired.
