Categories     Main Course

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cooked shredded chicken ((I use rotisserie))
6 ounces cream cheese (, softened)
1/4 cup salsa (, your favorite kind)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup baby spinach leaves (, chopped)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper (for taste)
15-20 corn or flour tortillas
guacamole, sour cream, salsa, hot sauce

Steps:

  • Add cream cheese, salsa and sour cream to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add remaining ingredients (except the tortillas) and toss to combine. Taste and add more seasoning, if needed.
  • For corn tortillas, heat a non-stick griddle over medium high heat. Cook tortillas for about 15 - 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Remove tortillas to a plate covered with tinfoil to keep them warm and pliable.
  • Place a large spoonful of filling in a line along each tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  • Baked Taquitos: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the tops of the tacos with cooking spray , or brush them lightly with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the shells are crispy.
  • Fried Taquitos: Add about 1 1/2 inches of oil to a large skillet and heat to medium-high. Once hot (the tortillas should sizzle immediately when added to the oil). Fry the taquitos in small batches, for a few seconds on each side, rotating them as they cook, until they are golden and crispy on all sides. Place them on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Serve taquitos with guacamole, salsa and sour cream.

Here's what you need: chicken, jalapeño, cumin, garlic powder, salt, crema table cream, corn tortillas, oil, crema table cream, fresh cilantro, cotija cheese, avocado

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups chicken, shredded
¼ cup jalapeño, diced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups crema table cream
24 corn tortillas
oil, for frying
½ cup crema table cream
fresh cilantro
½ cup cotija cheese
avocado

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!
