If you’re looking for a quick, easy meal that everyone will love, you have to try this Baked Chicken Taquitos recipe! The meat cooks for 4-5 hours in the slow cooker and then you only need about 30 minutes in a oven for a mouth-watering main dish!
Start by putting 1-1.5 lbs of chicken breast into your crockpot (about 3 large boneless, skinless breasts) along with the salsa, green chiles, fire roasted tomatoes, and seasonings. Cook for about 4-5 hours on low, until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks or you can throw it in a stand mixer for a couple minutes. Put it back in the slow cooker once its shredded.
Add your black beans, cheese, and stir well. Fill each tortilla with the mixture and roll up.
Grease your baking dish with olive oil. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes, until the tortillas start to turn light golden brown and start to become crunchy.
