Ingredients
- 20 corn tortillas
- 1 C diced chicken
- 1 15oz can black beans drained
- 1 C frozen corn kernels
- ½ C salsa any kind you fancy
- ½ C shredded cheese
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken, black beans, corn, salsa and cheese.
- Wrap 10 tortillas in wet paper towels and microwave on high for 2 minutes. This will make the tortillas easy to roll and will keep them from cracking. Repeat with next 10.
- Scoop a heaping spoonful of the chicken mixture and place in a line on each tortilla. Roll tortilla around filling. Place on rimmed sheet pan seam side down leaving room around each taquito.
- Brush taquitos with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Bake on center rack for 20 minutes or until brown and crispy. See notes for instructions on freezing.
