These Baked Chicken Taquitos are so good! They are extremely easy to make. Throw some rice and beans on the side and you have a dinner the family will love. To make this even easier, you can pick up a rotisserie chicken already cooked at the store and use that. Or you can do what I did and cook the chicken really easy in your Instant Pot. Click here for that recipe. It’s nice to cook a bunch of shredded chicken in the Instant Pot and freeze it in batches in your freezer to use at any time for recipes like this one.
Here are some of the items I use in this recipe:
