Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken breast with the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce until well combined. Add more or less peppers and the adobo sauce to your liking.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Place cream cheese in a bowl and add spices and stir to combine. Add chicken and stir until mixed thoroughly. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Take tortillas 4 at a time and microwave them for about 15 seconds, or until heated through and easier to work with. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture on each tortilla and roll each one tight. If needed, secure with toothpick. Then place in the pan, seam side down. I can usually get about 4 in a pan at a time. After about 2 minutes or until golden, flip over using tongs, and cook for another minute or until golden on that side. Remove from the pan and place on paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. Then transfer to a baking sheet in the oven set at 250 degrees to keep warm until all are cooked. Continue cooking until all are done, adding more oil as needed in between batches, a few tablespoons at a time. Serve with guacamole, Creamy Jalapeño Dip, or any other condiment of choice.
