These taquitos are a healthier homemade version than store bought or restaurant made (they’re baked, not fried!).
They are perfect for little hands who refuse to eat anything unless they can dip it in something.
Are you looking for a great recipe to make for your next gathering or taco Tuesday night? Look no further! Our Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Taquitos are the perfect dish for the whole family to enjoy. They are easy to make, requiring only a few ingredients from the grocery store and 15-20 minutes of your time. Our full recipe card will guide you through the steps of creating this delicious meal.
The creamy chicken filling is full of flavor and perfectly combines shredded chicken, monterey jack cheese, cream cheese, black beans, green chiles, and garlic powder. We recommend that you use soft room temperature tortillas and dampen them with a small bowl of water before assembly.
Once you have filled the tortillas with your chicken filling, roll them up and place them in a single layer, seam side down, on parchment paper. Brush the tops of the taquitos with olive oil, and then spray them with additional cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake the taquitos in the oven until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve the taquitos with your favorite dips and cheese melts, and watch as you and your family enjoy a delicious and flavorful meal. Our Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Taquitos are sure to be a hit at your next party or Cinco de Mayo celebration.
For a twist on the classic taquito recipe, try our Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Taquitos. Simply replace the chicken filling with your favorite buffalo chicken recipe and bake the taquitos in the deep fryer or in your air fryer, depending on the size. If you are looking for a vegetarian option, try Sweet Potato and Black Bean Taquitos. You can also use our taquito recipe as a great way to use up any leftover chicken and cheese. Enjoy your delicious meal and be sure to save some for tomorrow – leftover taquitos make for a great lunch or snack!
