Description

Golden, soft chicken taquitos served with a creamy, smoky Southwestern dip packed with spice and flavor — a perfect combo for parties, snacks, or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 45 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 tablespoon dried chives
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon jalapeño salt (or regular salt)
  • 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, onion flakes, chives, cumin, jalapeño salt, cayenne, smoked paprika, and white pepper. Mix well and chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  2. Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave to make them soft and pliable.
  3. Place shredded chicken in each tortilla, season lightly with salt, and roll tightly into taquitos.
  4. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry taquitos in batches until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
  5. Serve warm with the chilled Southwestern dip for dunking or drizzling.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • For a lighter option, brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.
  • Let the dip rest before serving to deepen the flavor.
