These Cheesy Chicken Taquitos are a delightful twist on the classic recipe, offering a burst of flavors and textures in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pico de gallo, shredded chicken, corn, green onion, bell pepper, and cheddar cheese.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
You can warm them in the microwave or on a skillet.
Place a portion of the filling onto each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Arrange the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet and brush them lightly with oil.
Brushing with oil helps achieve a golden, crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the taquitos are crisp and golden brown.
Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
Serve the taquitos warm with a side of pico de gallo or your favorite dipping sauce.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
