Ranch Chicken Taquitos Recipes

RANCH CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a resealable bag. In a bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, crushed pepper, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; pour over the chicken. Seal the bag and smush to coat.
• Add the oil to a skillet and heat it up over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a cutting board, cut into cubes, and then return to the skillet; keep warm over low heat, covered in foil.
• For the tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve the chicken with the tortillas as part of a taco bar.
• Add the avocados, cilantro, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper and lime zest and juice to a blender. Blend until smooth. Serve as part of a taco bar.
• Add the beans, chili powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper to a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until tender, about 6 hours. Serve as part of a taco bar.
• Heat up a grill pan and slap the peppers on. Cook, turning them occasionally, until blistered on all sides and softened, about 8 minutes total. Remove and set aside. Serve as part of a taco bar.
• Add the jalapenos, tomatoes, onions, mangoes, cilantro, lime juice and salt to a bowl and stir together. Serve as a taco bar fixing.
• In a blender or food processor (see Cook's Note), combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, chiles, hot sauce, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you like; I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip, if you dare. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

• Lay all of the filled taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle some salt on top.
• Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.

TAQUITOS - RANCH CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until browned well, 1 to 2 minutes per side; set aside. Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and cook briefly. Add the chile powder, cumin, salt, tomato sauce, 2/3 cup water and the seared chicken back to the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the sauce has reduced by about half, 12 to 15 minutes. For the sour cream ranch dip: Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, cilantro, dill, chile powder, garlic, hot sauce and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Once the sauce for the chicken is reduced, remove the chicken to a cutting board with a slotted spoon. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken, then return it to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly. Stir in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside and allow to cool slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. For the taquitos: Fill a large Dutch oven halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 375 degrees F. Mix the cooled chicken with the Colby jack cheese. Divide the mixture among the tortillas, then roll the tortillas tightly, securing them with a toothpick. Add the taquitos to the hot oil in batches of 8 to 10 and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Remove the taquitos to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining taquitos. Remove the toothpicks and serve alongside the sour cream ranch dip.
