Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
1 cup diced Hatch green chilies (mild or hot)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Cooking spray
½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Bake in a dish for 25-30 minutes until cooked through. Allow cooling before shredding.
In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, diced Hatch chilies, cheeses, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined.
Lay tortillas flat and spoon filling onto each. Roll tightly from one end to the other, seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly spray taquitos with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
While baking, combine sour cream and hot sauce in a bowl. Adjust spice level as desired.
Serve warm with sauce drizzled on top.
