Super easy and quick chicken taquitos are exceptionally yummy too!
Cook chicken breasts in a skillet with about 2 tablespoons olive oil. When they are almost done, cut them up in the skillet with a spatula or remove them to shred them—your choice. At this point, you can also add onions or peppers and cook them until they are as done as you like.
Add the taco seasoning with 3 tablespoons water and then bring to a boil. (Instead of water, you can also use enchilada sauce or salsa. I sometimes use all three!)
Place a small strip of the chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla and then add the shredded cheese on top (add as much as you’d like).
Roll them as tight as you can and lay them on a cookie sheet side by side.
Once they are all lined up, lightly brush some vegetable oil on the tops of the rolled up tortillas. This will make them crispy!
Bake them for about 10 to 15 minutes on 350 F. You can also broil them for about 2 to 3 minutes if they are not crisp enough after baking. You can dip them in sour cream or salsa and enjoy!

I’ve had this recipe in my box for quite awhile and finally made them. I wish I hadn’t waited so long! These were pretty easy and SUPER yummy!!! I just used taco seasoning and they had a really good flavor. My whole family enjoyed them and I will definitly make them again!

I made these last week and they were such a big hit we’re making them again this week. I’ll probably use less taco seasoning this time, but that’s a personal preference. I didn’t use the onion or green pepper because I didn’t have any on hand. They still turned out great and were especially good dipped in guacamole.

I made these tonight, with a few changes. I forgot to add the taco seasoning (oops!) but used extra salsa and a bit of Cholula. Instead of shredded cheddar I used a specialty blend of shredded Mexican cheeses. Instead of brushing with veggie oil, I sprayed the pan and the tops of the taquitos with olive oil Pam before sticking them in the oven. Mine only needed about 10 minutes at 350 to get nice and brown and crispy. YUM!
