Ingredients
Taquitos(Makes 48 taquitos) Ingredients3-1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts3 tbsp. garlic powder3 tbsp. onion powder1 cup clean salsa (use mild if kids will be eating these!)2 tbsp. olive oil2 tbsp. Nutritional Yeast4 packs (12 count) small, clean, corn tortillas
Step 1 – Bake the chicken breasts in the crock pot with half of the onion and garlic powder sprinkled on them, on low for 6-8 hours or low for 4-6 hours
Step 2 – Cut off any unwanted parts and put the cooled chicken breasts into a food processor with the rest of the garlic and onion powders, salsa, & olive oil, and blend until you have a well blended, “crumbly dough” looking mixture.
Step 3 – Warm the tortillas in the microwave, wrapping them in a wet paper towel. Get them nice and “pliable” so they don’t rip while you are rolling them. They will be hot, so don’t burn yourself!
Step 4 – Put about 1 tbsp. of meat on a tortilla, and roll up like you are rolling a carpet.
Step 5 – Place the taquitos in an oiled baking pan and spray the tops with olive oil using an oil mister/sprayer. This will give you the browned crunchiness that everyone loves in a taquito.
Step 6 – Bake at 400 degrees F. until they are golden brown. (About 20 minutes, but the time can vary from oven to oven. So keep an eye on them)
Step 7 – Cool and serve with salsa for dipping!

These are incredible! I made them from the Gracious Pantry website. I keep them in the freezer and they are handy to grab and go. My husband takes them for lunch when I forget to pack him one. Wrap them them frozen in wet paper towel and microwave 1 min. Come out perfect! I need to make some more! - 7/15/12
