Delicious Crispy Chicken Taquitos: The Incredible 5-Ingredient Recipe

Ingredients

– 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 8 small flour or corn tortillas
– 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
– Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

Creating Delicious Crispy Chicken Taquitos is a breeze when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and taco seasoning. Stir until everything is well blended.
3. Warm Tortillas: For easy rolling, warm the tortillas in a microwave for about 20 seconds to soften them.
4. Fill and Roll: Take one tortilla, add a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture, and roll it tightly. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Repeat: Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas until the filling is used up.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray or brush them with olive oil. This will help them achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even baking.
8. Remove and Cool: Once baked, take them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

These steps will guide you smoothly through the process of making these crispy delights.
