Ingredients
- 4 ounces veggie cream cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup Paisley Farm Cowboy Caviar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 10 corn tortillas
- fresh cilantro to taste optional
- Avocado diced tomatoes, sour cream, hot sauce - optional toppings
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Beat cream cheese, sour cream, and cumin together by hand until smooth. Mix in shredded chicken and then the shredded cheese. Fold in Texas Caviar and salt and pepper to taste. Add in fresh cilantro if desired.
- Warm each corn tortilla in a skillet for about 15 seconds on each side to make them more pliable and easy to work with.
- Divide the filling evenly between the corn tortillas, placing it in a line from edge to edge, and roll up.
- Brush the outsides of the tortillas lightly with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the outside of the taquitos are crunchy and start to brown lightly.
- Serve garnished with your favorite toppings.
Notes
To fry the taquitos instead of baking them, add about 1- 1/12 inches of oil to a large skillet and heat it on medium-high. When the oil is hot, fry the taquitos in small batches for a few seconds on each side, turning so they don’t burn. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra grease before serving.
Air Fryer Method: Cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy and golden.
To Store and Reheat these taquitos: Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
