Best Ever Chicken Taquitos Food

QUICK CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine chicken, green chiles, cheeses, cilantro, chili powder, cumin and hot sauce. Working one at a time, transfer tortilla to a work surface; place 1/3 cup chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper. Bring the bottom edge of the tortilla tightly over the filling, rolling from bottom to top until the top of the tortilla is reached; secure with wooden picks. Repeat with remaining tortilla and filling. Heat canola oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees F. Working in batches, add taquitos to the Dutch oven and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. When cool enough to handle, remove wooden picks. Serve immediately.

CRISPY CHICKEN TAQUITOS

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.

GREAT CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Bring water to a simmer in a skillet over medium heat; add chicken. Cover skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from water and cool; shred with a fork.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken, tomatoes, green onions, chicken broth, flour, garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Heat remaining vegetable oil in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat; carefully dip tortillas in the hot oil to soften, about 1 minute. Remove tortillas with tongs and drain on paper towels, reserving oil. Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling and secure with a wooden toothpick.
• Fry rolled-up tortillas, working in batches, in hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove taquitos with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve taquitos on a bed of shredded lettuce with guacamole on the side.

CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, debone the chicken and shred the meat. Add the barbecue sauce, sour cream, chopped green chiles, corn, red onion, garlic, both cheeses, and spices. Toss well.
• In a large pan over moderate heat, warm 1/4 cup of oil until it sizzles. Meanwhile, put 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling into each tortilla, roll, and secure with a toothpick. Working in 4 batches (wipe the pan clean and add 1/4 cup fresh oil between batches), pan-fry until the tortillas are golden brown and the mixture is warm, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel, transfer to a platter (or serve 2 per plate), and serve with your favorite salsa and guacamole.

CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cheese, green salsa, and onion. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture onto tortillas, or enough so that when rolled up, each one is about 1 inch wide. Filling should not come to close to the ends, or it will fall out. Secure rolls with toothpicks.
• Fry rolls 4 or 5 at a time so there is enough room between them for even cooking. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Once they float, I leave them in for about another minute. If the taquitos are not crisp when cool, you haven't cooked them long enough. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sour cream, salsa and guacamole for dipping.

BEST EVER CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• 1. First: Ya gotta cook the chicken, my advice? the quickest and easiest method to shred, is to boil it for approx. 20-30 minutes.
• 2. while you're waiting for the chicken to finish, ya might as well get the toppings ready!Dice up your onions to go in with the chicken mixture,slice up some tomatoes, make your guacamole, get your cheese cubes diced.
• 3. Okay, the chicken is done, shred it with a couple of forks or whatever method works best for you. Then add it to a pan with the onions and taco seasoning. Add some water, but don't go by the packet, you don't wanna water down the flavor. Heat it up till the seasoning is well mixed and the onions are sauteed.
• 4. Now, remove the pan from the heat, and in another pan add oil to the bottom, about a 1/2 inch from the bottom? Now here's where it gets tricky, I burnt myself the first couple times I did this just a warning, please be careful! I def suggest using tongs if you're nervous about burning yourself. Okay: so you're gonna take some of the chicken mixture and put it onto the edge of your tortilla. How much is entirely up to you, but don't overfill it, I usually use about a spoonful maybe a spoonful and 1/2 depending. Then you want to roll it from the filling side till it's rolled into a tube. Then you need to place it in the hot oil seam side down. Once it's browned on one side ( this doesn't take but maybe a min or two, less the hotter the oil gets) turn it over and cook the other side. You'll want to put as many as you can fit into your pan at a time, as this is time consuming, but I promise it's sooo worth it!!! ( P.S. you may have to add some oil in between as it tends to disappear as you cook! ;) Take out of the pan, and drain on a plate.
• 5. As you get closer to the taquitos being done, you'll want to get your cheese melting in the microwave! Mexi rice is a good side dish with this as well. Enjoy!!

BAKED CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F and oil a baking sheet. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add onion and cook until starting to soften and turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, paprika and salt. Stir to combine and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until fragrant. Take from heat and stir in cilantro and chicken. Set aside.
• Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a skillet or pot wide enough to hold tortillas. When broth simmers, dip tortillas briefly, one at a time, just to soften, 1 to 2 seconds. Lay tortilla on a work surface and spread 2 or 3 tablespoons chicken mixture over bottom third. Top with a tablespoon of cheese and roll up. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spray or brush tortillas lightly with oil and bake until crisp and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
