Taquitos

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce (from 7-oz can), seeded, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from can of chipotle chiles)
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (6 oz)
  • 1 package (11 oz) Old El Paso™ Flour Tortillas for Burritos (8 Count), heated as directed on package
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon coarse (kosher or sea) salt

Guacamole Dipping Sauce

  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • Coarse or table salt to taste

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In a large skillet, cook chicken over medium-high heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Remove from heat. Add chipotle chile, adobo sauce, onions and cheese; stir to combine.
  • 3
    To assemble, spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down center of each warm tortilla. Roll up; place seam side down on cookie sheet. Spray tops of taquitos with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon coarse salt.
  • 4
    Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
  • 5
    Meanwhile, scoop out avocado into small bowl; mash with fork. Drizzle lime juice over avocado. Add cilantro and garlic; mix well. Add salt to taste.
  • 6
    Serve taquitos hot with dipping sauce.

  • If you like things spicy, add more chipotle chiles and/or adobo sauce to the chicken mixture.
  • You can use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. Since corn tortillas are often 6 inches in diameter rather than 8-inch like the flour tortillas used in this recipe, you might need a few more to use up the filling.
