Easy, DELICIOUS Taquitos

Description
These are the most scrumptious, tasty taquitos—thanks in large part to how simple they are to make. Very few ingredients yield BIG results. My husband loves me a little more each time I make them 
Ingredients
- 2 cans Chicken Stock/broth
- 1 pound Shredded Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
- 1 cup Water (as Needed To Cover Chicken)
- 2 jars Premade Salsa (use The Smaller Jars)
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese (mozzarella Is Good—so Is The Mexican Blend)
- 24 whole 6" Corn Tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Bring chicken stock/broth to a boil in a large sauce pan or dutch oven. (Use a pan large enough so that the chicken is covered by broth and water.) Add chicken to broth, then add enough of the water to cover the chicken while it simmers.
When chicken is cooked through, remove from heat, drain liquid and let cool for 20 minutes.
While the chicken cools, combine the salsa and cheese in a large bowl. Once the chicken is cooled, shred with food processor (or my method—two forks, two hands!). Add chicken to cheese/salsa mixture and stir to combine.
In a small (6″–8″) pan, heat oil to medium/medium-high. Individually place the corn tortillas in the oil for a few seconds on each side and place on paper towels to dry. Repeat with remaining tortillas until they’re complete.
On a baking tray, spoon 2-3 tbsp of the chicken mixture inside the tortillas and roll. Place seam-side down on a pre-greased (Pam!) baking tray. Continue until all are rolled.
Bake for 10–15 minutes until the tops of the taquitos are golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve and ENJOY!

This was super easy and very good. I made my own salsa and salted and peppered the chicken once I shredded it. I also set the taquitos seam-side down on a rack inside of a cookie sheet. Very nice. Thank you for sharing!
