Best 8 Chicken Taquitos With Roasted Poblano Cheese Sauce Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Add enough oil to a heavy bottom straight-sided pan to come 2 inches up the sides. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Meanwhile, mix together the chicken, Cheddar, 1/2 cup salsa and the cumin in a medium bowl. Spoon about a 1/4 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
• Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, place the taquitos in the hot oil and fry, flipping as needed to brown evenly, until crispy and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, remove the taquitos to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Continue with the remaining taquitos. Serve alongside salsa and sour cream for dipping, if desired.

LOBSTER ENCHILADAS WITH ROASTED POBLANO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pico de gallo: Mix jalapenos, tomatoes and onions in a bowl. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Chill for 30 minutes.
• For the roasted poblano sauce: Roast poblanos on a char-broiler until skin is black on all sides. Transfer to a pan and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes to further sweat the poblanos. Under running water, peel and clean poblanos and remove all seeds and stems.
• Saute onion in 2 ounces butter until it starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add a cup of chicken stock to cool. Remove mixture to a blender and puree, then transfer to a saucepot. Add poblanos to blender in batches and puree, adding more chicken stock as needed to loosen, then combine with ingredients in the pot. Add cilantro, cumin, taco seasoning, salt and pepper to pot and bring to boil. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Make a roux by adding flour to remaining 1/2 cup butter in a saute pan and cooking slowly to a golden hue, about 10 minutes. Thicken sauce to desired thickness by adding roux to pot.
• For the enchiladas: Preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
• Cut lobster into medium bite-sized pieces and par-cook in white wine in a pan 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and divide into 3 portions. Cover a sizzle plate with 1 cup poblano sauce (save remainder for another use). Place corn tortillas on a hot grill or saute pan and warm about 10 seconds per side to soften, then remove. Form tortillas into 3 enchiladas with lobster and some shredded cheese. Place on sizzle plate and top with more cheese and 1/4 cup tomatoes. Bake, 5 minutes. Transfer enchiladas to a plate with a spatula, then push cooked sauce on top of enchiladas. Add a ramekin of pico de gallo on the side (save remainder for another use), a lemon wedge and a sprig of cilantro and serve.
