I have another really easy recipe for you, and I think you’re going to love this one. Baked Chicken Taquitos with Cream Cheese & Jalapeños give you the crispy, crunchy texture you’d expect from a taquito. But they’re way easier to make since they’re baked in the oven! Stuffed with cream cheese, chicken, herbs, and a kick of spice from real jalapeño, this might be your new favorite quick recipe!
Baked Chicken Taquitos with Cream Cheese & Jalapeños are the easiest thing you’ll make all week. You start by sautéing the chicken with some herbs and spices, then melting some cheese over everything. Sound good yet?
From there, you heat up some corn tortillas, roll some stuffing into them, hit them with a bit of cooking spray and bake. That’s it! Easy-peasy. Crispy, cheesy deliciousness straight from your oven in less than 30 minutes. I like to serve these just like I would tacos, with a bit of sour cream, salsa, and some shredded lettuce. I’ve also served these alongside a great big bowl of salad!
If you really like this filling, I did a similar recipe using pork with my Bacon Wrapped Sausage Stuffed Jalapeños. These are fantastic for a Big Game party, but we also eat them for dinner sometimes. Yum!
And here is our pride and joy, our puppy Gwen (short for Guinevere, because we’re nerds). She likes to help me clean up after a shoot. She was especially interested in these chicken taquitos, probably because they smelled so amazing. Unfortunately for Gwen, she ended up getting doggie treats, because her and jalapeños are not friends.
Still adorable, though.
