Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix together the chicken, chiles, adobo sauce, greek yogurt, spices, and cheese.
- Stack up tortillas and wrap with a dish towel; heat up tortillas for 20-30 seconds before filling them up to help prevent them from breaking.
- Spoon about 1/4 c of the filling into a line across the bottom half of the tortilla. Use your judgement if using smaller tortillas; you want to be careful not to overfill as they may break.
- Roll tightly and place seam side down onto baking sheet.
- Spray the tops of the taquitos with avocado/olive oil spray, can also brush with oil.
- bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- While those are baking, prep the avocado salsa. Combine avocado, lime juice, salt, cilantro, and red onion. Adjust lime juice and salt to taste.
- Serve Taquitos with avocado salsa and sour cream.
- Enjoy!!
Notes:
*Corn tortillas are smaller and not as sturdy as flour or Siete, so you will most likely need more than 10-12 tortillas.
