I love the convenience of rotisserie chickens from the grocery store. They taste good and they’re great for using in recipes.
I bought one the other day to make a salad with. I used one of the chicken breasts, chopped up some lettuce, carrots, cucumbers and used low fat Italian dressing. My lunch was only one point!
Since I still had the rest of the chicken leftover I figured it would be perfect to make my baked taquitos! They are one of my favorites.
One thing you have to do when working with these corn tortillas is to make sure you heat them before rolling them up. It makes working with them way easier.
You can either heat them in the microwave ( I usually do 5 at a time for 15-20 seconds) or in a pre-heated skillet. I heat them one at a time in the skillet. It may sound tedious but it really isn’t bad. I usually heat and flip one in the skillet while I’m rolling up a taquito.
This recipe has become a family favorite. BOTH of my kids ask me to make this. It doesn’t always happen that way. Usually one likes it, but the other one doesn’t.
This recipe is a win for sure!
