Baked Chicken Taquitos
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 (10 ounce) can chicken chunks, drained
  • 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 5 drops hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
  • 12 corn tortillas
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Next, lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the chicken and cheese until well combined.
4
Then, add a few dashes of hot pepper sauce to the mixture and stir until you reach your desired level of spiciness.
5
In a dry skillet, warm tortillas one at a time over medium heat until they become pliable and slightly flexible, approximately 10 seconds per side.
6
Once the tortillas are warm, place about 1 heaping tablespoonful of the chicken mixture onto half of a warmed tortilla.
7
Tightly roll the tortilla into a compact package, starting from the filled side of the tortilla.
8
Place the rolled taquito seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
9
Finally, bake the taquitos in the preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, to your liking, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
