12 servings

  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
  • 1 ½ cups finely chopped tomatoes
  • ½ cup minced onion
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup taco sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken
  • 24 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce, or to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup guacamole, or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a large baking pan with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers, then stir in chicken broth, taco sauce, flour, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt. Cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add shredded chicken, mixing vigorously until ingredients are well blended; cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Wrap 8 tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high until soft and flexible, about 30 seconds. Repeat twice more to heat remaining tortillas.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons chicken mixture down the center of a tortilla and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Roll tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat to form remaining taquitos. Spray taquitos with cooking spray and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and taquitos are crispy, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • Place shredded lettuce on a serving platter and arrange taquitos on top. Serve with sour cream and guacamole.
