    Oh, so good. And a lot of bang for your buck fat-wise too, I think I only used a tablespoon of oil for the whole recipe. used less salt and took other reviewers advice for the following: skipped the broth used the microwave to soften the tortillas, subbed some chili powder and chipotle powder in for some of the other two spices and added lettuce to the toppings the garnishes are really yummy with these and I consider them a must!. The rolling is a little bit of a trick at first. It helps to roll them tight and hold them together as you carefully put them into the pan, holding the seam closed as you transfer. They remind me of another favorite: Recipe #53496. Those are baked at 450, which I would recommend people do with the taquitos it took 23 minutes for me to get the tortillas crispy and lightly browned. These are worth the work, and so much tastier than any storebought version could be!

    Baked Chicken Taquitos, This baked version of taquitos is healthier and less mess in the kitchen than the traditional fried ones. The flavorful chicken filling makes great tacos as well. Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole. Leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken is perfect for the filling., Oh, so good.
