Mix everything well, ensuring that each ingredient is coated in that luscious creaminess. You can use a fork or a mixer for a smoother consistency. But trust me, the more you mix, the better it will meld, resulting in an irresistible filling that you’ll want to taste along the way (and feel free to do so, just remember you’ll want some for the taquitos!).
Assembling the Taquitos Like a Pro
Once your filling is ready, it’s time to roll those taquitos! Grab your tortillas and lay one out flat. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center. How much? About two tablespoons should do, depending on the size of your tortilla.
Now, here’s the trick for authentic taquito rolling: fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Secure the taquito with a toothpick if needed. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Repeat the process until you’ve used up your filling.
