CHICKEN TAQUITOS WITH ROASTED POBLANO CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Put the poblano skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet and broil until the skin is wrinkled and charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the poblano to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 5 minutes. Run the poblano under cold water and remove and discard the skin. Cut the poblano into very small pieces and return to the bowl.
• Toss the chicken with the oil, chili powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Transfer to the baking sheet and broil, turning once, until browned in spots and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let cool for a few minutes, cut into chunks and transfer to a food processor. Add 1 cup of the cheese, half of the scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; pulse until the mixture is coarse and holds together when squeezed.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir until the mixture is light brown, about 45 seconds. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 cup cheese. Stir in the chopped poblanos, hot sauce, garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside and keep warm.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp cloth and heat in the microwave for 1 minute so they are warm and pliable. Lay the tortillas out and spread 1/4 cup of the filling in the middle of each. Roll each up and secure with a toothpick. Push the filling into the ends a little so that it doesn't fall out.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, add half the taquitos and fry, turning as needed, until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining taquitos.
• Remove the toothpicks and arrange the taquitos on a serving platter. Drizzle with some of the cheese sauce and top with the remaining scallions.

EASY CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Combine the chicken and cheese in a bowl; stir in the hot pepper sauce. Warm the tortillas one at a time in a skillet over medium heat until flexible about 10 seconds per side.
• Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of the chicken over half of the warmed tortilla. Roll tightly to form the taquito starting at the filled side of the tortilla. Place seamed side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.

FLAUTAS DE POLLO CON QUESO

Steps:

• In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the boiled shredded chicken and the shredded mozzarella cheese, set aside.
• On a warmed skillet warm up your tortillas so they are no longer cold or hard, warm them up just enough so that the are soft enough to roll smoothly without them breaking apart on you when you roll them. (NOTE: NEVER warm your tortillas in the microwave this makes the tortillas sticky and they break apart when you try to roll them, you may think its easy but it makes you work twice as much!).
• Take one warm tortilla and place your chicken/cheese mixture in a straight line down the middle.
• Take one flap and carefully fold over and try and tuck it under the chicken/cheese.
• Take the second flap and roll over closing the chicken/cheese in, here use the wooden toothpicks to seal the 'Flauta'.
• Repeat these steps until you have all of your flautas rolled and sealed. Make sure not to over stuff them or the toothpick wont be able to keep them closed without tearing the tortilla.
• Heat your vegetable oil up in a deep frying pan about one each of oil will do if you are using a pan on a stove top. (If you are using a deep fryer use the amount that YOU THINK is enough to cover the 'Flautas' when you deep them in the basket.).
• Place up to 2 flautas at a time in your pan and roll them slowly and carefully until they are gold LIGHT brown on the outside, Take them out and drain them in a bowl lined with paper napkins. As you cook more 'Flautas' the oil goes down, add more oil to pan as needed. (If you are using a deep fryer place from 3 to 5 'Flautas' in the basket and deep them, until you see them turn the light brown color then remove them from the basket and place aside to drain.).
• Let them all cool down for about 5 minutes and enjoy with Guacamole if you have any available.
• (OPTIONAL) Brown them a bit more if you want them extra crunchy, if you follow as i stated above they will be a nice soft crunch.

CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cheese, green salsa, and onion. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture onto tortillas, or enough so that when rolled up, each one is about 1 inch wide. Filling should not come to close to the ends, or it will fall out. Secure rolls with toothpicks.
• Fry rolls 4 or 5 at a time so there is enough room between them for even cooking. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Once they float, I leave them in for about another minute. If the taquitos are not crisp when cool, you haven't cooked them long enough. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sour cream, salsa and guacamole for dipping.
