Description

Healthy chicken taquitos! Full of flavor and extra crispy.

Ingredients

  • ½ whole Medium Onion Or One Small, Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 6 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Reduced Fat Is Fine (do Not Use Fat Free)
  • ⅔ cups Greek Yogurt (0% Fat Is Fine)
  • 2 whole Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce, Minced
  • 2 teaspoons Chipotle Pepper Adobo Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 2 whole Large Chicken Breast, Grilled And Shredded
  • 1-½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Or Pepper Jack Cheese, Shredded
  • 38 whole 6 Inch Corn Or Flour Torillas
  • ½ cups Guacamole, For Serving (optional)
  • ½ cups Greek Yogurt, For Serving (optional)
  • Olive Oil, For Brushing On The Tortillas

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 F.

In a small skillet over medium heat, saute the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. Take off heat and set aside.

In a large bowl mix together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, chili powder, cumin, onion, and garlic until combined (a mixer makes this easier but can be done by hand). Add salt and pepper. Fold in the chicken and shredded cheese until well coated.

Work with 3 tortillas at a time, microwaving them for 15-20 seconds on a plate before filling and rolling. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling in a line across the lower 1/3 each tortilla. Working quickly roll each tortilla up tightly and place seam-side down on a rimmed baking pan. Do not over fill the tortillas or they will rip.

Either brush the taquitos with olive oil or spray with a misto can. Bake 15-20 minutes, until crispy.

Serve with ranch dressing, guacamole and Greek Yogurt if desired.

Yum, yum, yum!!! These are very easy to make and taste like restaurant taquitos, only better! I noticed that 2 tablespoons of the mixture was too much to be able to roll the taquito thinly, but we like them thicker, so it wasn’t a big deal. I only ended up with 27 total. If you want them pretty thin, I’d go with 1 tablespoon at most. Otherwise, everything went according to expectation. This is a great recipe–very flavorful, and perfect with homemade guac! It’s definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing!
