Soft Chicken Taquitos Southwestern Dip Recipes

CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Add cream cheese, salsa and sour cream to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add remaining ingredients (except the tortillas) and toss to combine. Taste and add more seasoning, if needed.
• For corn tortillas, heat a non-stick griddle over medium high heat. Cook tortillas for about 15 - 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Remove tortillas to a plate covered with tinfoil to keep them warm and pliable.
• Place a large spoonful of filling in a line along each tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
• Baked Taquitos: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the tops of the tacos with cooking spray , or brush them lightly with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the shells are crispy.
• Fried Taquitos: Add about 1 1/2 inches of oil to a large skillet and heat to medium-high. Once hot (the tortillas should sizzle immediately when added to the oil). Fry the taquitos in small batches, for a few seconds on each side, rotating them as they cook, until they are golden and crispy on all sides. Place them on a paper towel lined plate.
• Serve taquitos with guacamole, salsa and sour cream.

5-INGREDIENT CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TAQUITOS

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.
• To assemble, lay the tortillas on a work surface and fill the bottom third of each tortilla with 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken mixture and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Roll the tortillas up tightly and secure the end with a toothpick inserted into the seam.

SOFT CHICKEN TAQUITOS & SOUTHWESTERN DIP

Steps:

• 1. Mix sour cream and mayonnaise together in a bowl. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add dry spices to sour cream and mayonnaise mixture stir to combine, cover & refrigerate for 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Can be made day before.
• 2. Taquito instructions: Heat oil in frying pan. Add one corn tortilla and fry for just a second, then turn and repeat. Place tortilla on a paper towel lined cookie sheet fitting about 6-8 per sheet. Place another paper towel over the tortillas and repeat with the rest until all are cooked. Sprinkle Salt over the tortillas as you go.
• 3. Once all the tortillas have been lightly fried and are soft, take shredded chicken and place on center of tortilla in a line. Gently roll tight and place seam side down on another cookie sheet, each one snug to the other to keep shape. Repeat until all the taquitos are rolled.
• 4. Heat an electric skillet or griddle between 300-350 degrees and oil surface generously. Place one taquito seam side down, add another right up against it and continue until you have a row across the skillet and taquitos are secure. Continue another row if you have room (I can generally cook about 25-30 at a time) Check the first taquito by rolling or using tongs to make sure seam is secure before turning. Roll taquitos left to right and let them cook 1-2 minutes, then roll again until they are secure and golden.
• 5. Serving: This recipe makes 45 nice size taquitos. I will cut them in half as appetizers. Place Dip in the middle of a tray or large plate and surround the taquitos around the dip.
