Food Day - Taquitos

Well first off, I am home today. Blah! Woke up to no hot water, evidently when we had a huge downpour yesterday the water heaters in my apartment building got wet and knocked out all the pilot lights. Then they needed into my apartment for a backed-up bathroom sink and to replace the lock on our front door which doesn't work anymore. So I was only able to shower recently. Missing work is more annoying than I can possibly put into words, but nothing I could do about it.

Anyways, onto the food. So this is my 2nd attempt at these Chicken Taquitos. Our main problem last time was that they were a little bland and dry. So I tweaked the recipe.


We have:
1package of cream cheese, slightly melted in microwave
1/2 white onion diced
2.5 tsp of cumin

1 jalapeno diced small

2 Tbsp of Wegman's Salsa Con Queso (It's gluten free and tasty)
Photobucket

And 2oz of prepackaged Mexican Shredded Cheese.

Add 2 boiled and shredded chicken breasts.

I also thought it might helpt to fill them a little fuller . . .

This caused the flour tortillas to absorb too much moisture and not crisp well.

And the corn tortillas to burst.

So the moral of this story is, the changes to the filling worked, they were tastier and not dry. However, they do not need to be filled any fuller! Will definitely continue to try different versions of these . . . shredded pork sounds really good in there.
