Ingredients
Taquitos:
2 cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
½ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
½ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
Dipping Sauce:
6 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Combine shredded chicken, 1/2 of the pepper Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl; mix well.
Place equal amounts of filling onto each tortilla, roll tightly to close, and place seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn taquitos over, sprinkle with remaining pepper Jack cheese, and bake until cheese is melted and taquitos are crispy, about 5 more minutes.
While taquitos are baking, mix sour cream and hot pepper sauce together in a small bowl for dipping sauce. Serve with taquitos.
Cook’s Note:
You can use 4 large tortillas instead of 8 small tortillas.
