QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN TAQUITOS
My kids love the taquitos we get at the grocery store in the freezer aisle. They would happily eat them every day. However, the mean mommy that I am, am working on reducing the amount of processed food in our diet so I had to try homemade. After checking all the recipes for taquitos I could find, I decided to mix it up and create my own! So I took ideas from about 4 different recipes and went to town. My kids and husband have given their seal of approval. My very picky 3-year-old even had seconds! I serve them on a bed of lettuce with sour cream and do Mexican rice on the side.

Tips:
- Use a variety of fillings to create different flavors of taquitos. Some popular fillings include shredded chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, beans, and vegetables. - For a crispy taquito, fry the taquitos in hot oil until they are golden brown. - If you don't have a deep fryer, you can bake the taquitos in the oven. Just preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown. - Serve the taquitos with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and shredded lettuce. - To make a healthier version of taquitos, try using whole-wheat tortillas and lean protein, such as chicken or turkey. You can also bake the taquitos instead of frying them.Conclusion:
