Oven Baked Chicken Taquitos

Cultural Context

Originating from Mexico, taquitos are a beloved snack or meal made from rolled tortillas filled with various ingredients. Traditionally, they are deep-fried, but baking them offers a healthier alternative while still delivering on flavor and crunch. In the U.S., taquitos have become a popular convenience food, often found in frozen form in grocery stores, but making them from scratch allows for customization and freshness.
