Ingredients
- 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup original flavor bbq sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 16 taco-sized soft tortillas (corn or flour)
- 1 - 1 ½ cups shredded mexican-style or mozzarella cheese
- optional: ranch dressing for dipping
Pineapple
- 1 cup diced pineapple
- ½ red pepper diced
- ½ red onion diced
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves roughly chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together bbq sauce, garlic powder, pineapple juice, and liquid smoke until smooth.
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Pour bbq sauce mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on high 3 hours or low 6 hours (if using frozen chicken breasts, you may need to increase the time by an hour or so)
- Combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- About 20-30 minutes before serving, shred chicken in the crockpot (I use two forks to shred) and stir the shredded chicken so it soaks up any remaining juices in the pot.
- Preheat oven to broil and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Lay tortillas out on a flat surface. Sprinkle about 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheese in line down the middle of each tortilla. Top cheese with about 3-4 tablespoons shredded chicken. Tightly roll up tortillas and place them on prepared baking sheet 1 inch apart.
- Spray rolled taquitos heavily with cooking spray. Cook in the oven (on high broil) for 5-8 minutes or until cheese is melty and tortillas are crisp (if you're worried about them burning you can broil them on low for a little longer, 10-15 minutes). Serve warm with pineapple salsa and ranch if desired.

Notes
