Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped jalapenos (fresh or pickled)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 10-12 corn or flour tortillas
- Cooking spray or oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Start by placing the chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Season them with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in enough water to cover the chicken halfway.
- Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once done, shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks. Add the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped jalapenos. Mix well until everything is combined and creamy.
- Warm the tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
- In the same skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Fry the taquitos seam side down until golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa or guacamole!
Enjoy these delicious taquitos at any gathering, game night, or just because. These babies are sure to steal the show and satisfy those cravings! Happy cooking!
