Chicken Taquitos
April 09, 2024
It’s not a fiesta without the taquitos! Crispy, crunchy, and totally portable, taquitos are a go-to appetizer for Taco Tuesday, family fiestas, or nights on the couch when you’re just feeling snacky. Rather than settle for pre-made frozen taquitos, these easy chicken taquitos can be whipped up at home in less time than it takes to order and do the drive-thru dash.
Made with pre-cooked shredded chicken, refried beans, cheese, and corn tortillas, these gluten-free taquitos are just like the ones served at my fave Tex-Mex chain. The final touch is a drizzle of Avocado Lime Dipping Sauce crafted with real ingredients and no seed oils or artificial sweeteners. Inspired by your favorite restaurant sauce, it has that delicious balance of creamy avocado and citrus zing that elevates the classic Mexican spices. Squeeze some over top or serve it in a bowl for dipping and dunking!
Rated 3.3 stars by 3 users Lunch, Snacks 30 25 minutes 20 minutes 112 Made with pre-cooked shredded chicken and tucked in the oven, these easy homemade taquitos put the frozen ones to shame. Pair them with a drizzle of Primal Kitchen Avocado Lime Dipping Sauce, which adds a creamy citrus zing without seed oils or artificial sweeteners. Pro Tip: These taquitos are best fresh, so wait to make them until you’re ready. If you end up with leftovers, wrap them in a damp paper towel and reheat by microwaving them for 30-40 seconds. Mackenzie Burgess, RDN 3 cups shredded chicken (about 12 ounces) 15-ounce can of refried beans (2 cups) Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease 2 large 18x13” baking sheets with Avocado Oil Spray. Let them cool outside of the oven for a few minutes. Then, top with diced tomatoes, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle a bit of Avocado Lime Dipping Sauce over the top and serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.
