Tonight's dinner I wanted to be super simple and easy. It's one of our favorite t.v. nights we are Big Bang Theory fanatics. So, I just wanted something to munch on while we watched our shows. This recipe is from www.cinnamonspiceandeverythingnice.com. I made these a bit ahead of time and then right before our shows started fried them up. The original post said you could most likely bake them but, you might not get the crispy crunch. I think you could achieve the crunch if you sprayed the bottom of a baking sheet and then sprayed the tops. Might try this next time. This dish would make a good appetizer for a get together and have I mentioned they were delish.
Chubby Chicken and Cream Cheese Taquitos
3 c. cooked, shredded chicken (I like rotisserie)
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. sour cream
1/2 c. salsa
1 1/2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. chopped baby spinach, stems removed
Course salt and pepper , to taste
9-10 (6 in.) flour tortillas
Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Your choice for serving: sour cream/guacamole/taco sauce/ranch dressing
In a large bowl mix together chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, cheddar and spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Working with one tortilla at a time spread 2 heaping Tbls. of chicken mixture off center and spread out like a log. Roll up and set seam side down on a platter. Repeat until all the tortillas are filled and rolled.
Add enough oil to a large skillet to generously cover the bottom. Heat to medium heat, cook tortillas in batches, until golden brown on each side.
Remove to paper towels to drain.
Serve with your choice of dunking sauce.
My note: I didn't have the small tortillas only the large ones so, I just cut them in half after rolling them up. I also, added some garlic powder to the mix. I served them with sour cream mixed with salsa.
Like I said before these would make a great appetizer they are really quite tasty and made the perfect dinner for t.v. night. Enjoy!!!
