I love easy recipes like these Easy Homemade Chicken Taco Taquitos!! And I especially love recipes packed with flavor and only a few ingredients! That’s exactly what busy families need!
What ingredients do you need to make these taquitos?
- Cooked chicken – I use Rotisserie chicken because it has so much flavor and relatively cheap. I usually just use the breasts for this recipe.
- sour cream
- cream cheese
- taco seasoning
- shreded colby jack cheese
- corn tortillas
Tips for making these chicken taquitos:
- To get those tortillas easy to bend and roll without cracking, they need to be warm. I usually run a small stack through the microwave for about 30 seconds before filling and rolling. If they start to crack, heat them up again.
- I brush the finished rolled tortillas with a little vegetable oil. You can also spray them with cooking oil spray.
- I use my food processor to really mix the chicken well, but you can use a hand mixer too.
