Spicy Jalapeno Chicken Taquitos are an easy and delicious finger food, perfect for game watching!
Servings: 12 taquitos
Ingredients
- 12 fajita-sized flour tortillas warmed
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 4 oz. jalapeno cream cheese
- 1 cup Monterey Jack shredded
- Cooking spray or olive oil
- Salt
- 1 container sour cream 8 oz.
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
- 2 limes
- 1 bunch cilantro
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese and Monterey Jack until thoroughly combined. - Spoon 2-3 tbsp. of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll the tortilla around the filling as tight as you can. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Make sure the taquitos are not touching.
- Spray the tops of the taquitos lightly with cooking spray or brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are crisp and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, jalapeno, the juice of one lime and cilantro in a blender. Cover and blend until smooth. Taste. Add salt and more lime juice (if desired), to taste. Blend until smooth.
- Serve the Spicy Jalapeno Chicken Taquitos with the Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce.
Notes
- I always use flour tortillas for my taquitos because they don't tear as easily as corn.
