Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
-
Lay the chicken breasts on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle the chicken with the spice mixture. Roast the chicken in the oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F. Set it aside to cool slightly. Keep the oven on and coat a clean baking sheet with cooking spray.
-
Once the chicken has rested and cooled slightly, shred the chicken meat and add it to a medium bowl. Add the cheese and refried beans and mix well.
-
Place the corn tortillas in between two damp paper towels. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
-
Fill each corn tortilla with 1/4 cup chicken filling and roll tightly. Lay seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Once all the taquitos are on the baking sheet, lightly spray each one with cooking spray.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy.
-
Serve two taquitos with 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 2 Tbsp. guacamole and 1/4 cup diced tomatoes.

absolutly love this recipe, only difference i did was after shredding chicken, i added a drained can of black beans, added 1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 drained can of fire roasted corn, and 1 cup of mexican shredded taco cheese then used carb smart soft taco shells.. and it came out so amazing my picky 4 year old autistic son even ate them...

The whole family loved these. Only change I made was to use small flour tortillas instead of corn. Oh, and I cooked the chicken on the stove, shredded it and mixed in the seasoning. Delicious and easy.

I'm in love! Diagnosed diabetic last week. I've been trying new recipes and finding ways to cook fresh and fast at home. I chopped the chicken into small bits and cooked them on the stove with the seasonings. I also used 1 c whole black beans and 1 c leftover brown rice in the filling, along with a bit of parmesan for extra flavor. Increased cheddar to 1 cup, since I was making extra filling. I made fresh chunky guacamole and served with lettuce and salsa. Will definitely make these again. Thank you for a tasty recipe that doesn't take all day. I spent an hour on prep, including making guacamole. Next time will be quicker!

This is a great taquitos recipe. They dont exactly turn out like the picture, possibly because I may have put a bit more filling in them. They were flavorful, crisp and the lettuce and my homemade pick really set them off. I used a store bought rotisserie chicken and black refried beans, that's all.the modifications I made. Good stuff!!
