So for my second day of awesome Mexican recipe, I’ve tried a new one. And I will definitely make it again and again. Great to make in advance for some lunches; or you can cut it up and serve it as appetizers; or even serve for diner with some lime and cilantro rice. Beware: lots of spiciness! I used some jalapeno in a jar… and I thought they’d be less spicy, but boy oh boy, was I wrong!
Here the recipe for the awesome Creamy Jalapeno Taquitos!
What you need:
4 boneless chicken breast
8oz cream cheese
2 TBS of pickled jalapeno chopped
pinch of cumin
1 TBS garlic salt
salt and pepper
12 tortillas
tex-mex cheese
sour cream
How to:
Preheat oven at 400. Place chicken, cream cheese, jalapeno, cumin, garlic salt, salt and pepper in a baking dish. Mix well and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, mix well again and replace for another 20 minutes. Meanwhile, grate the cheese and set aside. Remove the chicken and let cool for 5 minutes. Shred the chicken mixture. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Take a tortilla, place some cheese in the middle and add a few spoonful of the chicken mixture. Roll the tortilla tightly and place on the parchment paper. Repeat for all the tortillas. Heat up (at 400) in the oven until golden. Serve with some cream cheese, fresh jalapenos, lime wedge and cilantro.
I’ve stored the leftover taquitos in a Ziploc bag, ready to be heated up for lunch. Once again, these are spicy, so beware. If you’re not a fan, cut out half of the jalapenos or leave them out entirely. But these are so good with the full 2 tbs of chopped pickled jalapeno!!!
Enjoy!
