1
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
2
Prepare the Tortillas
Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable.
3
Assemble the Taquitos
Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then roll the tortillas tightly, securing the filling inside.
4
Cook the Taquitos
In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
5
Serve
Remove the taquitos from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve with sour cream on the side for dipping.
