Thread: Chicken Taquitos

1 (9-10oz) can 98% fat-free chunk white chicken breast in
water, drained and flaked or cooked equivalent
1/2 cup salsa plus extra for dipping
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp dry taco seasoning mix
8 (6 in) yellow corn tortillas
sour cream for dipping

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and salsa; mix thoroughly. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Remove chicken mix from the refrigerator, drain any excess liquid. Add cheese and taco seasoning; mix to combine. Set aside. (This is the filling.)
3. Dampen 2 paper towels, and place tortillas between them.
Microwave for up to 1 minute, until tortillas are warm.
4. Place one tortilla flat on a clean dry surface (keep the rest between the paper towels), and spoon about 2 tbsp filling onto the tortilla. Spread it evenly across the entire surface, and roll the tortilla up tightly.
5. Secure with toothpicks, if needed, and place seam-side down on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
6.Bake in the oven 14 to 16 minutes.
7. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream, additional salsa, and refried beans.

I have some corn tortilla I need to use up. These would make a yummy alternative to tacos. I think I might use a cooked and shredded chicken breast in the place of canned chicken. Your recipes are great. Thank you for sharing.
