SHREDDED CHICKEN AND CHEESE TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a large saucepan. Pour in cool water until chicken is covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred meat with 2 forks when cool enough to handle. Discard poaching liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, olives, chiles, water, and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add Mexican cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
• Warm tortillas on a griddle over medium-high heat until soft, about 10 seconds per side. Add chicken filling to each tortilla, roll up tightly, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are brown, about 30 minutes.

POTATO CHEESE TAQUITOS

Steps:

• peel and cut potatoes into small squares then boil with salt until tender.
• drain potatoes and then add sour cream and cheese and mix all together as if making mash potatos. They should be thick and a little chunky. Check the taste to make sure it's enough salt or you may also add a little garlic salt. Set aside and start on tortillas.
• warm tortillas on a skillet or in microwave just to soften and keep them warm either in a plastic bag or in a tortilla warmer.
• Scoop some of the potato mix onto your tortilla and you can either roll the tortillas or you can fold them in half. The potato makes the tortilla stick together or if you'd like you can hold with a toothpick.
• Lastly warm the oil and fry your taquitos until gold and crisp. Then drain the oil of the taquitos by placing them on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels for a few minutes.
• VOILA! Just add all the topings over your taquitos and enjoy!

VEGETARIAN MASHED POTATO TAQUITOS

Steps:

• For the potato taco filling: Peel the raw potatoes and dice into cubes. Cover the cubed potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the water off. Mash the potatoes. Add the soft butter, finely chopped green onion and chicken or veggie broth. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and pepper.
• For the tacos: Heat a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Divide the potato filling in the middle of the tortillas and fold in half. Use toothpicks to pin the edges together. Deep fry in batches until golden brown, 60 to 90 seconds. (You can also pan fry the tortillas, turning over halfway through.)
• Remove from the oil with tongs and pat dry with a paper towel to remove extra oil. Let cool before removing the toothpicks.
• Open the tortilla to see the potato filling. Add the condiments inside the taco as you like.

CHEESY TAQUITOS (CHEQUITOS) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Once the beef is browned, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes more to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef mixture from the pan and set aside.
• In a clean large saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken and crushed tomatoes. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and oregano. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the Parmesan and Mexican-blend cheeses.
• Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add about ¼ cup (25 G) of cheese to the center of the pan and spread into a circle. Let the cheese melt, then add a spoonful of beef or chicken filling to the bottom of the circle.
• Slide the cheese shell out of the pan onto a cutting board and let cool for 30 seconds, then roll tightly to encase the filling. The melted cheese should stick to the outside, sealing the taquito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Serve the taquitos with lime wedges, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
• Enjoy!
