Chicken Taquitos


Ingredients:
  •          10 small (6-inch) yellow corn tortillas
  •          One 9.75-oz. (or 10-oz.) can 98% fat-free chunk white chicken breast in water, drained well
  •          1/2 cup salsa, fresh salsa is best
  •          1/2 cup shredded fat-free cheddar or mexican cheese
  •          1 tsp. dry taco seasoning mix (not too much a little bit goes a long way!)
  •          Use salsa, fat free sour cream, or guacamole (my favorite, look below for link to it)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and salsa, and mix thoroughly.  Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.  Remove chicken mixture from the fridge, and drain any excess liquid.  Add cheese and taco seasoning, and mix to combine.  This is your filling, set aside.
Prepare a baking sheet by spraying with nonstick spray and set aside.  Dampen two paper towels, and place tortillas between them.  Microwave for about 1 minute, until tortillas are warm and pliable.  Take one tortilla (keep the rest between the paper towels) and place on the baking sheet.  Spoon about 2 heaping spoonfuls of filling onto the tortilla.  Spread it evenly across the middle of the tortilla, and roll tortilla up tightly, so that you have a cigar-shaped tube.  Place the seam-side down on the baking sheet.  Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.  Bake for 15 minutes, until crispy.  Allow taquitos to cool for 5 minutes
They are great with my famous guacamole! Check out that recipe by clicking here
