Cooking Thursday

 Last week I tried something new that was a big hit.  These chicken taquitos were easy to make and they make a bunch (20 to be precise!)  Once they are assembled, you can bake them all, or freeze some to make later.  They were really tasty, with creamy, cheesy filling and a crispy shell. 


Baked Chicken Taquitos

3 cups cooked, shredded, chicken
8 ounces softened cream cheese
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
½ cup salsa
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons lime juice
20 flour tortillas (6 inch)
Olive oil or melted butter

Mix all but tortillas together. Place 2 tablespoons mix on each tortilla and roll.
To use right away, brush with olive oil or melted butter and roll bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with sour cream or salsa for dipping.
Or you may freeze them, then place frozen in 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

I love the freezing them to use later. I hit Aldi tonight and just got done with a bit of food prep and clean up. I love the idea of all of this.

Back to your food ... excellent! I've only made bean ones before using eggroll wrappers in the air fryer. I never thought to freeze them. I'm gonna try that.

Thanks!

These look and sound really good! Are they 5-inch or 10-inch tortillas?

Debi said...

We love Mexcian food and these sound very good. I like that it makes a lot for freezing and late use.

I've copied this one because I love the make-ahead capabilities of this recipe. Great to have in the freezer for when unexpected kids and grandkids show up hungry! Haahaha thanks Mari xoxo
