Elegant Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos
INGREDIENTS
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt + pepper
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded colby or Mexican blend cheese
- 12 6 inch corn or flour tortillas
- optional: cilantro, salsa, sour cream, or other toppings as
desired
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper to
taste, cream cheese, and water in a medium mixing bowl. Pour half of the
mixture into your crockpot, place chicken in crockpot and pour remaining
mixture over the chicken. - Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
- Minutes before serving, remove chicken from crock pot, shred
with two forks, and return to slow cooker. Give it a stir. Cook about 15
minutes longer. - Preheat oven to 400. Here is a great trick to keep your corn
tortilla from falling apart. Place 1 corn tortilla on a skillet, put about ⅛
cup cheese on the corn tortilla. Warm the tortilla until the cheese melts,
remove tortilla from pan. Melting the cheese on the corn tortilla will keep it
from falling apart in the next step. - Place about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto the middle of
each corn tortilla that has the melted cheese on it or a flour tortilla. - Top with 1-2 tablespoons shredded cheese. Roll tightly and
place in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. If using corn tortilla
brushing some olive oil over them will help with browning and crisping. - Bake 10 minutes, until tortillas are slightly browned and
shredded cheese is melted. Serve with desired toppings and sauces.
