So last night I decided to make a home version of some taquitos. I made some a few months ago with some left over Khalua pork and well it was amazing. I had no pork this time but I had chicken so I decided to make my own chicken versions. Upon completing and bragging about it online I had a few requests to blog it and pin it so here it goes.
You will need:
Chicken breast cooked (I poached mine but you can grill it or what ever you prefer)
A few packages of corn tortillas or flour your choice big or small
a block of cream cheese
tablespoon of butter
one green bell pepper
one small onion
taco cheese
Mcormick Recipe Inspirations in Chicken Lime Fajita
So I sauteed the onion and the pepper in the butter got it nice and brown and yummy and set it aside. In the kitchen aid I put the chicken, the cream cheese, the onion and peppers, and the mcormick spices. The Spice Recipe card says to add lime or lemon juice to the recipe for it. Since I wasn't making the fajitas the traditional way and I didn't have any I left it out. But you can add it if you like would be pretty good. I then mixed it in the mixer letting my kitchen aid do the shredding of the chicken for me. I then tasted, adjusted seasoning with Salt and pepper then added the taco cheese and mixed it some more.
While I was doing this I preheated the oven to 350. I then took my tortillas place a spoonful of filling on it and rolled it up. Laid it seam side down on the tray, and continued till the tortillas were gone. I then popped them in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes rotating half way through cooking. Now mine took this long cause the shells I go would not get crunchy. However using a flour tortilla or traditional corn tortilla may not take that long. You are only cooking long enough to eat everything through and to crisp up the tortilla.
You could dip them in what ever you want, and you can add salsa to the actual mixture before stuffing them as well.
