Chicken Taquitos

Chicken Taquitos
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought whole roasted chicken
  • 1 cup favorite barbecue sauce
  • 1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 (4 1/2-ounce) can chopped green chiles
  • 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled, crushed, and minced
  • 1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 24 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • Favorite salsa and guacamole, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, debone the chicken and shred the meat. Add the barbecue sauce, sour cream, chopped green chiles, corn, red onion, garlic, both cheeses, and spices. Toss well.
  2. In a large pan over moderate heat, warm 1/4 cup of oil until it sizzles. Meanwhile, put 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling into each tortilla, roll, and secure with a toothpick. Working in 4 batches (wipe the pan clean and add 1/4 cup fresh oil between batches), pan-fry until the tortillas are golden brown and the mixture is warm, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel, transfer to a platter (or serve 2 per plate), and serve with your favorite salsa and guacamole.
