    Ingredients

    • 1 Pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast or Thighs
    • 1 Whole Jalapenos, seeded and diced (2 if you want it spicier)
    • 1 Medium Onion, diced
    • 1 Can (15 ounce) Tomatoes with diced chiles
    • 8 Ounces Pepper Jack cheese
    • 20 Corn Tortillas
    • 1 Cup Vegetable oil (approx)
    • 1 Pinch Salt and pepper
    • 1 Teaspoon Ground cumin (opt.)
    • 1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne (opt.)

    Directions

    1. 1Slice your chicken into chunks and add it to a pan with a drizzle of oil. Cook on medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through.
    2. 2Remove chicken from the pan and shred it evenly. You can either use two forks to shred it evenly or just chop it up.
    3. 3Add diced onions and jalapenos to pan that you cooked the chicken in. If pan is dry, add another Tablespoon of oil. Add a pinch of salt and cook for a few minutes until veggies are soft.
    4. 4Add shredded chicken back to pan along with canned drained canned tomatoes. Add spices if you are using them and adjust for your tastes.
    5. 5Once filling tastes good to you, stir in shredded cheese and set aside for taquito making.
    6. 6To make a taquito, add a Tablespoon of oil to a small non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a corn tortilla to the pan and heat it for about 10 seconds on both sides. It should really soften up.
    7. 7Remove tortilla to a clean surface. Add a few tablespoons of filling to the bottom third of the tortilla and roll it away from you. Place the taquito on a lightly oiled baking sheet, seam side down.
    8. 8Continue rolling tortillas until you run out of filling. You should get close to 20 and fill two baking sheets.
    9. 9Bake taquitos at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until they are nicely browned and really crispy. Check on them every 5-10 minutes and turn them once or twice during the cooking process.
    10. 10Serve with guacamole, salsa, and/or sour cream!
