Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup thick greek or greek style yogurt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 cup salsa, not a super chunky one
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, I like colby or monterey jack
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 12 small tortillas I like flour because they are easier to work with.

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl stir together all the ingredients for the filling.
  2. Preheat oven to 425
  3. Warm the tortillas if needed so they are pliable. Either in the microwave wrapped in a moist towl, over the stove, or even in the oven for a few minutes.
  4. Spoon a couple or 3 tablespoons of filling onto 1/3 of the tortilla. The amount will depend on the size of the tortilla. Leave about 1/4 inch on each end because the filling will spread.
  5. Starting on the end with the filling, roll the tortilla to create a taquito. Place seam side down on a baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive or avocado oil to get it more crispy.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until crispy.
  7. Warm leftovers at 350 for 15 min
