Leftover Chicken Taquitos


Leftovers are a staple at my house. With only two people eating the meals I make, it seems almost impossible to avoid them. 
But I'm not complaining... oh no. I love leftovers. I cook once and have meal, after meal, after meal at my disposal. Like right now I've got ham and potato soup for the rest of the week, ready for my lunching needs. 



However, I will admit... leftovers can get boring. Sometimes they get better with time, letting flavors meld together and get more sensational... but even with that a girl gets bored! You need some variety, you need some fun, you NEED some taquitos! 

I used the spicy honey chicken recipe (find that here) and a few other ingredients to create these crunchy, slightly spicy and yummy taquitos. 



Ingredients:
·         1-2 spicy honey chicken thighs, shredded
·         ¼ cup cheese
·         Small whole wheat flour tortillas (however many you need)
·         Condiments: (basically whatever you like)
·         Sour cream
·         Diced tomatoes
·         Sliced avocado
·         Shredded lettuce

Directions:
Super easy stuff here. Basically just shred the spicy chicken thighs and warm them in a skillet for a couple minutes. Add chicken to separate bowl and mix in the cheese. There is no need for other spices because the chicken itself is flavorful enough. Put 2-3 tablespoons  of the chicken in the middle of a tortilla and roll it up. Spray the skillet with non-stick spray and place the seam side of the tortilla down first. Warm on all sides until it’s nice and crispy! Serve with your favorite Mexican condiments!


To complete the meal we served it with spanish rice. Ohhhh these were so good... PLEASE give them a try. 

Thanks for stopping by!
