Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup salsa
1 packet taco seasoning
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 small flour tortillas
Olive oil spray
1/4 cup sour cream, for serving
1/4 cup guacamole, for serving
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, for serving
Instructions
1. Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and pour the salsa over the top.
2. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, cover, and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
3. Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks.
4. Stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheddar until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
5. Warm the tortillas slightly so they are easier to roll.
6. Spoon the chicken filling into each tortilla and roll tightly.
7. Place the taquitos seam side down on a baking sheet.
8. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
9. Bake at 425°F for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden and crisp.
10. Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, and chopped cilantro.
Notes
Warm the tortillas before rolling so they do not crack.
For extra crisp taquitos, bake a few minutes longer or finish them in the air fryer.
Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
