Baked Chicken Taquitos
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing tortillas
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken meat
- 2 cups low-sodium, gluten-free chicken broth
- 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- 1 cup crumbled queso fresco or shredded Monterey jack or cheddar
Preheat the oven to 425°F and oil a baking sheet. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet.
Add onion and cook until starting to soften and turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add garlic, cumin, paprika and salt.
Stir to combine and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and chicken. Set aside.
Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a skillet or pot wide enough to hold tortillas.
When broth simmers, dip tortillas briefly, one at a time, just to soften, 1 to 2 seconds.
Lay tortilla on a work surface and spread 2-3 tablespoons chicken mixture over bottom third.
Top with a tablespoon of cheese and roll up. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Spray or brush tortillas lightly with oil and bake until crisp and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
