Baked Chicken Taquito Recipe
Description
This recipe assembles shredded chicken mixed with cheddar cheese, salsa, oregano, cumin, garlic salt with parsley, garlic pepper, and optional green chilies. The mixture is spooned onto warmed corn tortillas, which are rolled tightly, placed seam side down in a baking dish, and sprayed with olive oil. Baking at 350°F for 30 minutes crisps the exterior without frying.
Baked Chicken Taquitos present a crisp outer shell from corn tortillas and a seasoned, gooey filling combining melted cheese, tender chicken, and bright salsa notes. The spices create depth of flavor, while the optional green chilies add mild heat. Baking rather than frying promotes a lighter texture.
These taquitos are best served immediately to enjoy crisp texture. They can be part of a casual meal or served as an appetizer with dipping sauces. Warming the tortillas first makes them easier to roll without cracking.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast Cooked and shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese Shredded
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt with parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp garlic pepper
- 1 can green chili optional
- 12 corn tortillas
- olive oil spray form
Instructions
- Combine chicken, cheese, salsa, spices and chiles in a bowl.
- Warm tortillas in a skillet over medium heat about 10 seconds each, until flexible.
- Spread a heaping tablespoon of the chicken in the middle of each warmed tortilla. Start at the filled side of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a taquito. Place seamed side down in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Lightly spray with olive oil spray.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
