BAKED CHICKEN TAQUITOS

by Christelle Welch
It’s been a while since I’ve made taquitos. But ever since Costco stopped selling their crazy good chicken flautas/taquitos I’ve been dying to make some for my family. These creamy oven baked ones are super easy to whip up and are packed full of awesome flavor.

I love them, my husband loves them and even my toddler loves them! They’re perfect for lunch, dinner or even as a snack… and they just happen to make awesome little appetizers or party food!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 large eggs*, beaten
  • 1 1/2 sticks butter (6 ounces, 12 Tbsp), at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut (we used shredded)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  •  about 12 small corn or flour tortillas (we liked flour better)
  •  kosher salt
  •  cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder and mix well. Add cilantro, green onions, chicken and pepperjack cheese and combine well.
  3. You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.
  4. The corn tortillas are harder to roll without cracking. For the corn tortillas: work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or come unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.
  5. Place 3 Tablespoons of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.
  6. Then roll it up as tight as you can.
  7. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top.
  8. Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Makes around 12 taquitos.
  9. Dip in salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or Tomatillo Dressing . They would be great with black beans and this Cilantro Lime Rice.
