Baked Chicken Taquitos Recipe

Ingredients

• 12 oz skinless boneless chicken breast, ground
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 8 oz onions finely, diced
• 2 tsp unsalted chili powder
• 5.3 oz zucchini, grated
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 oz cheddar cheese, grated
• 1.5 oz Mozzarella cheese, grated
• 8 6-inch corn tortillas
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ tsp salt
• optional 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 
2. Heat up a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and unsalted butter. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ground cumin and chili powder; mix in with the onions. Add chicken and salt. Break down the chicken chunks into small pieces with a spoon or heat-proof spatula. Cook for 4 minutes. Add zucchini and mix in with the chicken. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside. 
3. Place tortilla sheets on a baking tray, overlapping one another. Bake for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover with a dampened kitchen towel. 
4. Set up a work station: put a cutting board right in front of you. Place the chicken mixture, tortillas,  and 2 bowls of grated Mozzarella and cheddar cheese around the cutting board. Have a baking dish right next to you. 
5. Roll the taquitos: take one tortilla sheet and put it on the cutting board. Spread 3 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture on the tortilla. Sprinkle the 2 types of cheese on top. Roll the tortilla into a cigar shape and place it on the baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. 
6. Brush with olive oil and bake for about 15 minutes. 
7. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle chopped parsley to garnish.
