Description

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breast
• 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 4-6 green onions (no more than ½ cup), finely chopped (including the green part)
• 2 TBSP cilantro, finely chopped
• 3 garlic gloves, minced
• 1 small jalapeno, finely chopped
• 2 roma tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp pepper
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp oregano
• 30 corn tortillas
• olive or vegetable oil, for brushing the taquitos before baking

Directions

• First cook the chicken breast in a large stock pot or in a crock pot.
• If cooking chicken on the stove top, use 2-4 cups of broth.
• If using a crock pot use about a cup of broth.
• Cover and simmer chicken until falling apart tender.
• If cooking in the crock pot cook on high for 3 -4 hours.
• Shred chicken once chicken has cooled. If using a stand mixer you do not need to shred the chicken before mixing.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Next in a large mixing bowl, add chicken breast, softened cream cheese, green onions, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, tomatoes, and all seasonings. Mix everything together until combined well.
• Next, line a baking sheet with foil.
• Then wrap 5 corn tortillas in parchment paper, at a time, and heat in the microwave on high for about 30 seconds, or until soft and flexible. Now add about 2 TBSP of chicken filling and spread it in the middle of a tortilla.Tightly wrap the tortilla and place seam side down. Repeat this process until all the chicken filling has been used.
• Once all the tortillas are made, spray the tortillas with vegetable or olive oil. I use a Misto Sprayer for this step. You may also brush on the oil as well.
• Cook for 25-30 minutes @ 425 degrees.
• Serve oven baked chicken taquitos with a your favorite hot sauce, green sauce, sour cream, and/or avocado salad.
