Baked Chipotle Chicken Taquitos
Easy homemade chicken taquitos with chipotle peppers and shredded cheese!
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken breast about 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1.5 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce minced with 2-3 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 15-20 6" corn or flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- Optional for topping/dipping: sour cream, cotija cheese, salsa of choice, guacamole
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and chipotle peppers with adobo sauce. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the shredded cheese into the chicken mixture.
- For corn tortillas: warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds so they don't crack when rolled.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, place the tortillas.
- Place a large spoonful of filling in a line on the bottom of a tortilla (I don't place it in the middle so that you immediately roll up the filling). Roll tightly, and repeat with each tortilla.
- Brush tops of taquitos with canola oil.
- Place the taquitos in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and serve with any of the suggested toppings/dips!
