Mimis Chicken Taquitos Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Simmer chicken in water, covered, 20-25 minutes (or cheat and use rotisserie chicken and broth from a box!) Cool chicken, saving broth. Pick meat from bones and shred meat with a fork.
• 2. Saute onion and garlic in oil. Stir in chicken, tomatoes, chiles, broth, flour and spices. Simmer 3-5 minutes.
• 3. in a heavy 10"(or larger) skillet heat 1" of oil for frying. In a small skillet cover bottom with some oil and warm up to use to dip the tortillas into to soften before filling, draining on paper towels.
• 4. spoon 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the middle of each tortilla, top with a little cheese if desired. Roll up tightly and secure with a wooden toothpick.
• 5. Fry rolled up tortillas at 375 until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm in oven while the rest of them are fried. Serve with rice and beans using the garnishes for dipping, watching out for the toothpicks. MUY DELICIOSO!

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Combine the chicken and cheese in a bowl; stir in the hot pepper sauce. Warm the tortillas one at a time in a skillet over medium heat until flexible about 10 seconds per side.
• Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of the chicken over half of the warmed tortilla. Roll tightly to form the taquito starting at the filled side of the tortilla. Place seamed side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.

Steps:

• Add enough oil to a heavy bottom straight-sided pan to come 2 inches up the sides. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Meanwhile, mix together the chicken, Cheddar, 1/2 cup salsa and the cumin in a medium bowl. Spoon about a 1/4 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
• Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, place the taquitos in the hot oil and fry, flipping as needed to brown evenly, until crispy and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, remove the taquitos to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Continue with the remaining taquitos. Serve alongside salsa and sour cream for dipping, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine chicken, beans, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, diced green chile peppers, cumin, chili powder, salt, and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until filling is heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add Mexican cheese blend to filling and stir until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.
• Place corn tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a wet paper towel; heat in microwave until tortillas are warmed, about 30 seconds.
• Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons filling down the middle of each tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around the filling and place, seam-side down, on a baking sheet. Spray the rolled tortillas with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crispy, about 30 minutes.
