Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (9 3/4 to 10-ounce) can 98-percent fat-free chunk white chicken breast in water, drained and flaked
1/2 cup salsa, plus more, as dip, optional
1/3 cup shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon dry taco seasoning mix
8 (6-inch) yellow corn tortillas
Fat-free sour cream, as dip, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and salsa, and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Remove chicken mixture from the refrigerator, and drain any excess liquid. Add cheese and taco seasoning, and mix to combine. This is your filling. Set aside.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Dampen 2 paper towels, and place tortillas between them. Microwave for about 1 minute, until tortillas are warm and pliable.
  • Place one tortilla flat on a clean dry surface (keep the rest between the paper towels), and spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons filling onto the tortilla. Spread it evenly across the entire surface, and roll the tortilla up tightly, so that you have a cigar-shaped tube. Secure with toothpicks, if needed, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Bake in the oven until crispy, 14 to 16 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream and additional salsa for dipping, if using. Enjoy!

These taquitos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I will try making them again with less chili powder.

These taquitos were amazing! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the tortillas were crispy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

I wasn't a big fan of these taquitos. I found them to be a bit dry.

These taquitos were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I love these taquitos! They are so easy to make and they always turn out great. I usually add some extra cheese and salsa to mine.
