Ingredients
Taquitos:
-
2 cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
-
½ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
-
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
2 tablespoons sour cream
-
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
-
½ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
Dipping Sauce:
-
6 tablespoons sour cream
-
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
-
Combine shredded chicken, 1/2 of the pepper Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl; mix well.
-
Place equal amounts of filling onto each tortilla, roll tightly to close, and place seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn taquitos over, sprinkle with remaining pepper Jack cheese, and bake until cheese is melted and taquitos are crispy, about 5 more minutes.
-
While taquitos are baking, mix sour cream and hot pepper sauce together in a small bowl for dipping sauce. Serve with taquitos.
Cook's Note:
