Chicken Taquitos

Chicken Taquitos Ingredients: 2 cooked chicken breasts shredded, or chopped fine (I used a rotisserie chicken) 12 corn tortillas Spray canola oil Tomatillo salsa (recipe below) Tomatillo Salsa: 5-6 tomatillos 2 jalapenos ½ of a medium yellow onion ¼-cup cilantro leaves 1 garlic clove Juice of ½ of a lime 1-teaspoon salt 1 avocado Directions: 1. Boil tomatillos for 5 minutes. Once cooled, add tomatillos, jalapenos, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime, salt, and avocado to a chopper, or blender. Combine until very smooth, and set aside. 2. Chop or shred two cooked chicken breasts (I used a rotisserie chicken it is a great hack!). 3. Put shredded/chopped chicken into a skillet along with ½ cup of tomatillo salsa, and combine until just warmed. Set aside. 4. Heat a skillet on medium high and spray with canola oil. Add one corn tortilla at a time and cook slightly, just until pliable. Put onto a plate with paper towels. 5. Preheat air fryer on 300, for ten minutes. 6. Roll each corn tortilla with a tablespoon (or more) of chicken mixture, and set onto a plate, seam side down. 7. Transfer rolled corn tortillas to the air fryer, seam side down, and cook for 20 minutes (I turned them over halfway through the cooking process, so they would cook evenly.  

8. Transfer cooked taquitos to a plate and enjoy with tomatillo salsa!

Here is a recipe for those of you who love to entertain (even though we aren't doing a lot of that lately)! 

Try this recipe using ground beef, shredded beef, sweet potatoes, calabacitas...the possibilities are 

endless!  I used a tomatillo salsa, but they also go great with guacamole and regular salsa as well.

I used the air fryer to cook the taquitos because I think they are too heavy when you deep fry them.  

You could easily cook them in the oven in the same manner.  

I really hope you try this recipe, and tag me on Instagram so I can see your version of this versatile 

appetizer!
