Whether you're a seasoned chef or a kitchen novice, our chicken taquitos recipe is designed with you in mind.
– 4 oz cream cheese – ⅓ cup red enchilada sauce – ¼ cup sour cream – Salt and black pepper to taste – 3 cups chicken – 6 oz cheese – 11 tortillas – ¼ cup cilantro – Olive oil (for brushing) For serving: – Pico de gallo – Sour cream – Crumbled cheese
First prepare the chicken and tear it into small parts using two forks. In a big bowl combine the cream cheese, red enchilada sauce, salt and black pepper. Mix everything with a spoon.
Add the shredded cheese, chopped cilantro and the chicken. Mix again and let the mixture aside.
Place the tortillas in a microwave safe dish, cover them with a wet kitchen towel and microwave 30 seconds to 1 minute until the tortillas get soft and easy to work with. Place one tortilla on your working surface, add a few tablespoons of filling from the chicken mixture and roll the tortilla.
Repeat the same procedure for all the tortillas and place them in a previously prepared baking dish. Brush them with olive oil on the top and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes or until they get a nice brown color. Serve the taquitos warm with pico de gallo, sour cream and crumbled cheese.
Gather your spices, grab your chicken, and get ready for a culinary adventure that's as rewarding to make as it is to eat.
