Indulge your loved ones with crispy oven-baked chicken taquitos made with leftover rotisserie chicken for a healthier alternative to frying.
Ingredients:
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
  • 1.5 cups finely chopped tomatoes
  • 0.5 cup minced onion
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
  • 0.33333334326744 cup chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup taco sauce
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken
  • 24 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce, or to taste
  • 0.5 cup guacamole, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously coat a large baking pan with olive oil cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers in oil. Stir in chicken broth, taco sauce, flour, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt. Cook until warmed through, about 5-10 minutes. Add shredded chicken and mix well, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until hot.
  • Place 8 tortillas between damp paper towels and microwave until soft and flexible, around 30 seconds each. Repeat twice to warm all tortillas.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture down the center of a tortilla and top with Cheddar cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas to make more taquitos. Finally, spray taquitos with cooking spray and sprinkle with more Cheddar cheese.
  • Cook in the oven until the cheese has melted and the taquitos are crispy, approximately 20-22 minutes.
  • On a serving platter, layer shredded lettuce and top with taquitos. Serve alongside sour cream and guacamole.
