Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb of chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup of salsa (add more if you will use salsa as a dip)
  • 1/3 cup of fat free shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  •  1/4 teaspoon of dry taco seasoning mix
  • 8 (6 inch) yellow corn tortillas
  • fat-free sour cream as dip (optional) 
 Directions
  • Boil the chicken and shred
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
  •  In a medium bowl mix the salsa and chicken well
  • Refrigerate for 15 minutes
  • Remove mixture from the refrigerator and drain access liquid
  • Add cheese and taco seasoning
  • Set filling aside
  • Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside
  • Dampen 2 paper towels and place tortillas between them, microwave for 1 minute 
  • Place one tortilla on a flat surface (leave the others between the paper towels)
  • Spoon two heaping spoonfuls of the filling mixture on the tortilla and spread evenly
  • Roll the tortilla and hold in place with a toothpick if needed, seam side down
  • Repeat until all tortillas are filled
  • Bake in the oven until crispy (14-16 minutes)
  • Cool for 5 minutes, then serve with salsa or sour cream if you wish 
ENJOY!!!!

P.S. The recipe serves 4, and the taquitos are under 200 calories per serving!
