I thought I would start with such a great recipe I found on the Whole Foods website. I seriously make this dish all the time. Not only is it super easy to make, but it doesn't taste like something that is "gluten free".
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil, more for brushing tortillas
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 cups shredded cooked chicken meat
2 cups low-sodium, gluten-free chicken broth
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 cup crumbled queso fresco or shredded Monterey jack or cheddar
1 tablespoon olive oil, more for brushing tortillas
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 cups shredded cooked chicken meat
2 cups low-sodium, gluten-free chicken broth
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 cup crumbled queso fresco or shredded Monterey jack or cheddar
Preheat oven to 425°F and oil a baking sheet. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add onion and cook until starting to soften and turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, paprika and salt. Stir to combine and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until fragrant. Take from heat and stir in cilantro and chicken. Set aside.
Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a skillet or pot wide enough to hold tortillas. When broth simmers, dip tortillas briefly, one at a time, just to soften, 1 to 2 seconds. Lay tortilla on a work surface and spread 2 or 3 tablespoons chicken mixture over bottom third. Top with a tablespoon of cheese and roll up. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spray or brush tortillas lightly with oil and bake until crisp and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately. You can add a little avocado dip too.

I modify a few things when I make them. I skip the chicken broth. I just take about 1 teaspoon of olive oil and spread it out over the 12 taquitos and heat them in a small skillet prior to rolling them. The chicken broth didn't soften them enough and would cause them to split when I tried to roll them. Also, I only use about 1/2 a cup of light cheese (and you can totally do without the cheese and they still taste great!) and corn tortillas that are about 4o calories each. I try to cut calories where I can and with those modifications the recipe it is about 105 calories per taquito. Which is pretty amazing if you ask me!
Hope you enjoy the recipe!
