I cooked the chicken in a wok, and that was a bit faster. I used tortillas that were half corn and half wheat. They didn’t crack. This is a tasty dish!
I prefer adding salsa instead of peppers, which add sweetness, but this is quick, easy, and good. Some hints for others – corn tortillas will crack or fall apart if not VERY fresh. They have a freshness date on the package – check this when buying. Also, you can use any leftover chicken and shred it. adding the cheese and/or salsa or peppers will give added moisture.
So easy and so yummy! Love this recipe and so does my family.
I love this recipe. Tasty with few ingredients. My kids even like it, with the roasted red peppers and all. I served with a little fresh salsa and voila!
I made this years ago and forgot to review it. The taquitos have amazing flavor and they are easy to make. I made them for a big party last time, and they were a hit!!!
This recipe is a hit in my household! I will say, that I use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas (my kids do not like the corn tortillas). Very tasty and healthy!
Loved it… My 5 yr old, who eats practically nothing, loved it and said she’d eat it again!!!! I guess I can add this to the other 3 things she’ll actually eat… but she said minus the peppers. Also, used whole wheat tortillas for wrapping.
If you’re using 8 tortillas and each one requires 1/3 cup of cheese, then wouldn’t you need 2 2/3
cups of cheese rather than the 1 1/3 cup as stated in the recipe? Also, I suggest not only draining the canned peppers, but patting them dry too. I would also cut the chicken a bit smaller than 1 inch. Just saying…….

Good family meal! My corn tortillas fell apart but still tasty. I used leftover chicken from Robin’s Roasted Chicken with Smoky Orange sauce.
It Was Really Good
