Tortillas – I used small flour tortillas. You can use your favorite or even make your own with my super easy flour tortillas recipe! Corn tortillas, gluten free tortillas, they will all work. Onions – White or yellow onions, sliced. Chicken – Chicken breast works best, or you can use tenders or boneless skinless thighs as well. Bell Peppers – You can use large or small sweet bell peppers of any color, sliced into thin strips. Butter – Aim for unsalted butter to control the salt in the taquitos, but use what you got.
What Are Taquitos?
They are a small version of a rolled taco. Basically, we have tasty meat and cheese rolled up in a small tortilla that usually are fried, but in my case here we have them baked to perfection for a healthier and even tastier version of it!
Can I Customize My Taquitos?
Definitely! While this recipe is made Chicken Fajitas style, you can switch it up with some ground beef, turkey or chicken, or even make it lighter with some scrambled eggs on top of a bed of tasty veggies. Add a delicious salsa verde on the side and there you have it! Heavenly breakfast served just for you!
Can I Air Fry Taquitos?
Yes, and they’re so much quicker to air fry! Simply place them in your air fryer basket, brush them with melted butter or spray them with cooking oil and air fry at 375°F for 5 minutes!
How To Serve Chicken Fajita Taquitos
These chicken fajita taquitos are great for lunch, as an appetizer or even just a snack. I love serving them with lots of salsa, guacamole, sour cream and some lime wedges. To make a complete meal, consider serving these along some great 3 Ingredient Mexican Rice.
Leftovers
Fridge
If you have any leftovers, make sure they cool down to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container. They will remain delicious in the fridge for up to 4 days. That’s also a great reason why they are amazing as meal-prep for the whole week. Breakfast ready to be warmed up and served without any rush to it!
Freezer
As for freezing the chicken fajita taquitos, you can make them ahead of time, place the uncooked taquitos in a freezer friendly tray, with the seam facing down, and add them to the freezer for 20-40 minutes until they freeze up. Next remove them from the tray and add them to a freezer friendly zipper bag, then place them in your freezer. They will keep nicely for up to 4 months. When ready to use, take the taquitos out, place them on a baking sheet in a pre-heated oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes and serve with your preferred side dish!
