Chubby Chicken and Cream Cheese Taquitos

By á-26577

Tortillas rolled with a shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, salsa and spinach filling with dipping sauces on the side for dunking. They have an addicting crunch that gives way to creamy, cheesy insides that will turn these into fast favorites.

Ingredients

• Your choice:
• 3 cups chicken cooked and shredded (I like rotisserie)
• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 1/2 cups baby spinach, stems removed, chopped
• Coarse salt and fresh black pepper, to taste
• 9 - 10 (6-inch) flour tortillas
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• Sour cream/quacamole/salsa/taco sauce/ranch dressing

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl mix together the chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, cheddar and spinach. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Working with one tortilla at a time spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture off center and spread out like a log. Roll up and set seam side down on a platter. Repeat until all the tortillas are filled and rolled.

Add enough oil to a large skillet to generously cover the bottom. Heat on medium heat, cook tortillas in batches, until golden brown on each side. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Serve with your choice of dunking sauce.
