Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cooked and shredded chicken
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños, diced
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup alfredo sauce
- 12 flour tortillas
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeños, cooked bacon, and alfredo sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla, then roll it up tightly into a taquito.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
- Roll each taquito in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the taquitos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve hot with extra alfredo sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For make-ahead options, assemble the taquitos without the breadcrumb coating and refrigerate seam-side down for up to 24 hours.
- Freeze uncoated taquitos for up to 3 months. Coat and bake directly from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
- For a spicier version, include some jalapeño pickling liquid in your filling or add fresh jalapeños.
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor.
