Tonight for dinner I tried a new recipe - Chicken Taquitos. Yes, I'm back to my "it's time to try and be a good wife by planning out a menu and actually cooking for my family" mode. I thought they were pretty good and Pearl gobbled them up (but then again the last few weeks she's eaten anything that's put in front of her) so I thought I'd share.
Chicken Taquitos6 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded chicken
1 package taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
4 oz. can green chilies, chopped
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
guacamole
sour cream
salsa
Combine chicken, taco seasoning, water, onions, and chilies in saucepan. Cook until heated through. Stir in tomatoes. Place chicken mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly. Secure with toothpicks. Pour 1/2 inch of oil in large skillet and heat until a drop of water sizzles. Place rolled tortillas in hot oil and fry until golden brown. Turn and brown other side. Drain well on paper towels. Serve with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
***I didn't want to fry these things, one because I hate grease splattering everywhere and the smell of it and two because I wanted them to be somewhat healthy. So I baked them in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until crispy. Then I put them on top of some black beans. They were more like a baked burrito I guess, but still tasted good. Enjoy!
