Equipment
Medium Bowl
Baking Sheet
Ingredients
4
ounces
cream cheese softened
½
cup
salsa
1
tablespoon
taco seasoning
2
cups
chicken shredded
1
cup
mozzarella cheese shredded
8
flour tortillas
6 inch size
1
tablespoon
olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425℉.
In a medium sized mixing bowl stir together softened cream cheese, salsa, taco seasoning, shredded chicken and cheese and mix well.
Divide the mixture between the tortillas (about ¼ cup each). Spread the mixture along the center of each tortilla and roll.
Place seam side down on a baking sheet and brush each tortilla roll with oil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cover the ends of the taquitos with foil if they start to brown too quickly.
Serve with sour cream, guacamole or salsa to dip in.
Notes
Batch prepare chicken taquitos
for future meals in a zippered bag for up to 1 month. Thaw first, or cook from frozen.
Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, which has an anti-stick coating which also prevents it from melting very well. So grate the cheese fresh if possible!
Refrigerate cooled leftover chicken taquitos in a covered container, or wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 4 days.
Reheat leftovers under the broiler or in the air fryer.
