🧂 Ingredients

1 First, you'll need to steam the tortillas. Place tortillas on a plate and cover
with a clean kitchen towel. Microwave for 45 seconds. Remove tortillas from the
microwave leaving towel on top and let sit for another few minutes.
2 In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken, salt, pepper finely chopped onion and
jalapeno.
3 Place about 2 tablespoons of chicken filling on the end of the tortilla. As
tight as you can, without ripping the tortilla, roll all the way up. Use a
toothpick to seal the taquito.
4 Baking Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange taquitos on a
parchment paper lined or lightly oiled baking sheet. Lightly baste outside of
taquitos with oil. Bake taquitos for 15 minutes or until nice and golden.
5 Frying Instructions: Heat oil in a small frying about a third of way up the side
to medium heat or 350 degrees.
6 Place about 3-4 taquitos in the hot oil for about 1-2 minutes then using tongs,
gently flip taquito over. When nice and golden, transfer taquitos to a cooling
rack. Repeat with remaining taquitos.
7 Serve taquitos with your favorite dipping sauces like sour cream, salsa, or
guacamole.
