Description

These little taquitos are sure to be a hit with adults and kids alike. If you don’t have avocado, you can add some extra cheese, sour cream or cream cheese to the filling instead. You just need something a little creamy to keep the taquitos from tasting too dry!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts Or Thighs
  • ½ whole Large Yellow Onion, Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1-¾ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 whole Small Avocado, Pitted And Peeled
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
  • 12 whole 6" Corn Tortillas

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425F and grease a 9×13″ baking pan.

Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a large heat-safe bowl. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and tender, about 7-10 minutes. Decrease the heat to low.

Meanwhile, shred the chicken using two forks.

Add the onion, garlic, cheese and avocado to the bowl with the chicken. Mix, mashing the avocado with the back of a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Warm the canola oil in the skillet over low heat. One by one, heat the tortillas in the oil for 20 seconds or so on each side so that they are soft enough to roll.

Spoon 2-4 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the heated tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Bake at 425F for 15-17 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the taquitos are browned.
