Baked Tomatillo Chicken Taquitos

I used to spend a lot of nights eating taquitos out of a really large bag bought at Costco. Those were most definitely not 21 Day Fix approved, but these are and they are just as good if not better! Serve with a side of rice and black beans for a dinner worthy of any Mexican restaurant.

Baked Tomatillo Chicken Taquitos

Author: Nicky

Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 8 yellow corn tortillas
• 1/2 rotisserie chicken we got one from Costco and immediately de-skinned/de-boned it
• 5 ounces verde/green salsa
• 1/8 yellow onion
• 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

• Preheat over to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
• In small portions mince chicken and onions in a food processor until it has the consistency of canned tuna.
• Once all chicken and onions are finished transfer to a bowl and add 2 ounces green salsa. Mix until well incorporated.
• In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken mixture.
• Brown the chicken, stirring regularly so all chicken has a chance to touch the bottom of the pan (between 5-8 minutes).
• When chicken is well heated, transfer back to bowl and add remainder of green salsa. Mix until well incorporated. There should be quite a bit of liquid, and that is okay.
• Microwave tortillas in a damp paper towel for about 15 seconds to steam.
• Add 2 TBSPs chicken across the middle of each tortilla and roll.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy and brown.
• Serve with a TBSP of plain Greek yogurt and 1/8 mashed Avocado!

   If you want to make these ahead of time what would be the best step to fridge/freeze at? (Before filling shells, baking, after done?)

     Hey Kelly! I would make them and then freeze them, and then re-bake them until hot. I am not sure how they would turn out, but that’s the best bet!
