Quick and Easy Chicken Taquitos Recipe

Quick and Easy Chicken Taquitos Recipe

  • 3/4 pound shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as ROTEL®), drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 18 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • cooking spray (such as Pam®)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Combine chicken, beans, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, diced green chile peppers, cumin, chili powder, salt, and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until filling is heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add Mexican cheese blend to filling and stir until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.
  3. Place corn tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a wet paper towel; heat in microwave until tortillas are warmed, about 30 seconds.
  4. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons filling down the middle of each tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around the filling and place, seam-side down, on a baking sheet. Spray the rolled tortillas with cooking spray.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crispy, about 30 minutes.
