Baked Chicken Taquitos

My boys are obsessed with all things Mexican. Due to my busy schedule, I am delighted that there’s more than one way for me to make and enjoy our favorite fiesta dishes. Whether it’s sheet pan chili lime chicken fajitas or grilled shredded beef chimichangas made with leftover pot roast, Mexican food is always a win for my family. Crockpot chicken tacos and easy cheesy taco sliders are terrific for casual meals and game days when they’re in the mood to graze.

Helpful Tips for Making Baked Taquitos

  • I find that it’s helpful to warm the corn tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave prior to stuffing and rolling. This helps prevent them from tearing.
  • I use rotisserie chicken to make these but, you can use any leftover chicken or even poached chicken for the filling.
  • I typically use an olive oil or canola cooking spray to coat the taquitos before baking. You can use an oil spritzer, or brush with vegetable oil as well.
  • Top these with your favorite taco fixins’ like shredded lettuce, queso fresco, guacamole, or salsa, if you’re so inclined.
