Ingredients

  • 3 pound cooked chicken breasts boneless and skinless (about 1 )
  • 8 ounce enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups marble cheddar cheese
  • 10 medium whole wheat tortillas

Optional toppings

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 400℉. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium size bowl shred the chicken breast. You can also chop it up in small pieces.
  • Add the enchilada sauce and the cheese and stir everything together until well incorporated.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and top with a couple tablespoons of the chicken mixture. Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Spray the taquitos with more cooking spray. Alternatively, you could brush with melted butter.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until tortillas turn golden brown. If you want crispier taquitos, place under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Serve with any of the optional toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  1. For making ahead meals, you could prepare these as noted in the instructions up to and including step 4, cover the baking dish and freeze until ready for baking. Thaw out before baking.
  2. If you can't find pre-made enchilada sauce, taco sauce or buffalo sauce would be a great substitute.
  3. Nutritional information does not include optional toppings.
