Taquitos with a powerful punch

Since my family enjoys taquitos so much, I decided to make a different version.

It’s so simple to make this roasted beet side salad. This salad is bright and earthy with a variety of textures and flavors.

They are easy to make and full of flavor. These are great for lunch or dinner and even as snacks… they also make great appetizers or party food.

It couldn’t get any easier. You just need to mix up the filling and roll it out. You could use 1/3 of the cream cheese or sour cream to make the filling lighter.

You can eat them plain or dip them into my cilantro sauce. You can be sure that everyone will love these tasty, delicious taquitos!

PREP.
Pre-heat oven to 375°F.

SEASONING.
Combine the cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder with salt.

CHICKEN
Sprinkle a little spice mixture on each side of the chicken breasts after drizzling olive oil. Lay out the chicken breasts onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.

The chicken should be baked for between 20 and 25 minutes or until it reaches a temperature of at least 165 degrees. Use two forks and shred the cooked chicken. Set aside the chicken to cool.

Preparation. Line a second baking sheet, this time with baking mat or parchment paper.

Assemble. Add a couple of tablespoons to the bottom edge of each tortilla. Be sure to leave some space at the end so that the mixture does not ooze when baking. Place it on the baking sheet, seam down. Continue with the remaining ingredients.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool down for five minutes and then serve.
