Whether you’re planning a casual family dinner or gearing up for a festive gathering, these chicken taquitos are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1 ½ cups baby spinach, stems removed and chopped

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Colby Jack or Mexican blend cheese

  • ½ cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)

  • ⅓ cup sour cream

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 12 (6-inch) corn or flour tortillas

  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, Pico de Gallo

Instructions

  1. Heat a saucepan with ½ inch of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, spinach, shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Spoon a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Spread the filling slightly, then roll the tortilla tightly.
