Garlic Lime Baked Chicken Taquitos Recipe

Sponsored post by Mirum Shopper. All opinions are my own.

Taquitos are the ultimate party food – easy to dip, easy to make, and delicious! While taquitos aren't necessarily Mexican food, they've got all the right flavors. These Garlic Lime Baked Chicken Taquitos are perfect paired with Knorr's Creamy Chipotle Dip for a fall party, around the Thanksgiving table, or for an easy midweek dinner. And did I mention they are baked, and not fried! That's a total win right there…

Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken marinade:

  • 6 raw chicken tenders, or 1 large chicken breast cut into strips
  • 1 tsp. Knorr® Chicken Flavor Bouillon
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper

For the taquitos:

  • 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 5 green onions, cut into small pieces, include the white sections
  • 1/3 cup salsa
  • 12 taco sized flour tortillas (use corn to make this recipe gluten-free)
  • 6 oz. of Monterrey jack cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Add chicken and all marinade ingredients into a plastic bag. Seal and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Pour chicken and marinade into an oven safe casserole dish and bake for 18-23 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through, but still moist. Remove from oven and shred chicken with two forks.
  3. Increase oven heat to 425ºF. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil or other expeller-pressed oil.

  5. Lay tortillas out flat. Spread 2 TBSP of meat mixture onto the left side of each tortilla. Top with 1 teaspoon of cheese. Roll tightly from the left side to the right to form a taquito. Lay on baking sheet and press down lightly on tortilla to help seal.

    The chicken lime taquito recipe sounds very appetizing. I’d like to try to make some, and I would probably have them with avocado and sour cream and chopped tomatoes.
