Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
½ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
½ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
6 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Combine shredded chicken, 1/2 of the pepper Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl; mix well.
  • Place equal amounts of filling onto each tortilla, roll tightly to close, and place seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn taquitos over, sprinkle with remaining pepper Jack cheese, and bake until cheese is melted and taquitos are crispy, about 5 more minutes.
  • While taquitos are baking, mix sour cream and hot pepper sauce together in a small bowl for dipping sauce. Serve with taquitos.

These chicken taquitos are a healthier alternative to traditional taquitos. They're made with whole wheat tortillas and grilled chicken. I also like to add a variety of healthy toppings, such as avocado, salsa, and Greek yogurt.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these taquitos were the perfect amount of heat. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the tortillas were crispy. I will definitely be making these again.
