Learn how to make taquitos, or rolled corn tortillas, with this recipe. They're filled here with an easy, spicy chicken filling and baked until crisp. Serve these as an appetizer or side dish with salsa, or serve as a main course topped with lettuce, tomato, olives, sour cream, and more. I have also added chopped onion to the chicken mix.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 (10 ounce) can chicken chunks, drained
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
5 drops hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
12 corn tortillas

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine chicken and cheese in a bowl; stir in hot pepper sauce.
Warm tortillas one at a time in a skillet over medium heat until flexible, about 10 seconds per side.
Spread about 1 heaping tablespoonful of chicken mixture over half of the warmed tortilla. Roll tightly to form a taquito starting at the filled side of the tortilla. Place seamed side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
