  1. Made this tonight, and it was pretty good. I kind of just used this recipe as a staple and made my own chicken filling. I took 4 chicken breast put them in oven coated with chili powder, lime juice, and salt...Baked it for about 20 mins then shredded it with a fork. I added a can of green chilis and a little enchilada sauce then created finished it in the way you said to cook them. Came out goo.
     
  2. These are very tasty. I made these for a quick lunch when I had leftover shredded chicken. They were delish and so simple to put together. I will make them again!
     
  3. Love the lighter healthier flavor of these Taquitos. While not as crisp as fried they did crisp up quite nicely for oven baked. The tasty Taquitos were made as written using flour tortillas as that is what I had on hand, pico de gallo cruda and fat free cheese. This recipe is a true keeper and will be enjoyed many times over. Thanks for the post.
     
  4. Made these for an easy dinner with the DSs today and they both liked it so big plus! I left out the peppers and decreased the salsa a little but otherwise followed the recipe. Served mine with sour cream and extra salsa on the side. Made for 1-2-3-Hits.
     
  5. These are great. Really love the healthy dose of veggies in each one. I also served them with fresh homemade guacamole. Delish! Thanks for sharing!

Tweaks

  1. These were very tasty & easy to prepare (though I admit to a certain lack of finesse at rolling the tortillas). I followed the recipe as directed except I used fresh corn kernals cut off the cob and left-over roasted chicken instead of breasts. I sprayed the taquitos with canola oil cooking spray and baked them for 15 minutes. Crispy and crunchy! I served with lettuce, recipe #320847 and some home-made salsa. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag Game. REVISING 7/13/09: I had some of these taquitos left-over (I froze them). For a quick Mexican-inspired meal, I put them in a baking dish, covered them with enchilada sauce and cheese, and baked until everything was hot and bubbly - DELICIOUS! They made for wonderful chicken enchiladas - and a nice way to use up extra taquitos in a different way. YUMMY!
