Baked Taquitos

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This was tasty with a little tweaking. I followed the advice of other reviewers and added some chili powder and pepper. It seemed a little dry toward the end so I also added about 2 tablespoons of lime juice. --TIPS-- 1. The broth idea does NOT work. The tortillas will still be brittle and fall apart. Instead, wrap a stack of corn tortillas in several layers of damp paper towels and microwave for about 30-45 seconds. 2. DO NOT roll them too tightly. When they are cooking, the filling will bubble and expand, and if you wrap them tightly, the taquitos will burst. 3. Leave some space between each taquito. This will allow them to get crispy on all sides. 4. For an even better crispy texture, spread a little oil on the bottom of the pan, and then spray the tops of each taquito with cooking spray.

    Baked Taquitos, I got this recipe off of a blog (bigboldbeautifulfood blogspot com) I have made it once and the flavour was really good, but it looked funny! The instructions are long but it is actually very simple and quick to make I am posting how the recipe is originally written (well almost) but you might want to add a bit more spice I served it with a spicy salsa and it tasted great The chicken broth is needed if you are using corn tortillas only , This was tasty with a little tweaking I followed the advice of other reviewers and added some chili powder and pepper It seemed a little dry toward the end so I also added about 2 tablespoons of lime juice –TIPS– 1 The broth idea does NOT work The tortillas will still be brittle and fall apart Instead, wrap a stack of corn tortillas in several layers of damp paper towels and microwave for about 30-45 seconds 2 DO NOT roll them too tightly When they are cooking, the filling will bubble and expand, and if you wrap them tightly, the taquitos will burst 3 Leave some space between each taquito This will allow them to get crispy on all sides 4 For an even better crispy texture, spread a little oil on the bottom of the pan, and then spray the tops of each taquito with cooking spray , These were good I did add some taco seasoning to the chicken used corn tortillas and tried dipping in broth They didn’t want to roll very easily and mostly tore apart I secured them with toothpicks and even that did really keep them closed Maybe I did something wrong In any case they were tasty and we enjoyed them I was just hoping we could eat them with our fingers and not a fork Thanks for posting the recipe
