Recipe: Roasted Tomatillo Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked shredded chicken — rotisserie chicken works great

½ cup LEANING R® Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican-blend cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, optional

12 small flour or corn tortillas

Olive oil or cooking spray

LEANING R® Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, for dipping

Sour cream or Mexican crema, optional

Instructions:

Make the filling. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, cream cheese, shredded cheese and cilantro. Mix until evenly combined.

Fill & roll. Warm the tortillas briefly so they're pliable. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of filling along one side of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Make them crispy. Lightly brush or spray the taquitos with olive oil. Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning once if desired, until golden brown and crispy.

Air Fryer Option: Cook at 400°F for 7–10 minutes, working in batches, until crisp and golden.

Serve. Serve hot with plenty of LEANING R® Roasted Tomatillo Salsa for dipping. Add sour cream, crema or guacamole on the side.
