Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
- 12 pieces flour tortillas (small, for taquitos)
- 4 pieces flour tortillas (large, for burritos)
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 2 cups cooked white or Spanish rice
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 cups neutral oil (for frying taquitos)
- 1 cup lettuce (shredded, for serving)
- 1 cup tomato (diced, for serving)
- optional hot sauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced green chiles. Mix well to create the filling.
To assemble the taquitos, place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on one edge of a small tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the rolled taquitos in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
To prepare the burritos, lay a large tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans across the center. Top with 1/2 cup of the chicken filling, a few spoonfuls of rice, and sprinkle with additional cheese.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form the burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side to lightly toast the tortilla and seal the burrito.
To serve, arrange the crispy taquitos and toasted burritos on a large platter. Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, guacamole, salsa, and optional hot sauce on the side.
Enjoy the perfect mix of crunchy and hearty bites with your Poquito and Grande Taquitos and Burritos!
