Baked Taquitos

This quick and easy meal is modified from a recipe I found - can't remember where. It seemed a little too plain for my liking, so I've added some flavor to it and adapted for our tastes. The best part is it's still simple and contains ingredients I normally have on hand. 

My measurements below make a small amount since this is how many I make for the two of us. It's easily adaptable to your family's size.

Baked Chicken Taquitos

1 large chicken breast

1/2 packet of fajita seasoning, or make your own here.

1/4 C green pepper

2 T chopped onion (if desired)

six flour tortillas

1 C shredded cheddar cheese

Cut the chicken breast into small bite size pieces. If you have leftover shredded chicken, this would work well also. Saute the chicken with the green pepper, onion and fajita seasoning in a skillet until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

Start preheating your oven to 350°. Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave between two damp paper towels to make for easier rolling. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese on top as seen below.

Roll the tortillas tightly and line up on a baking sheet. Spray the top with cooking spray to enhance browning while baking.

Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes or until edges become crispy brown. (They should be a little darker than the image below, but we were late for a meeting and I had to take them out a bit early!)

Serve with sour cream, taco sauce or salsa. Or just eat them plain!
