How to Make Tropical Chicken Taquitos at Home (Appetizers)

Saute 1 small red onion, 1 jalapeno pepper, and 1 clove minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of canola oil for about 5 minutes.

Add 2 cups of shredded chicken and 1 cup of fresh pineapple to the mixture.

Mix in 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese or cheddar cheese, and 1/3 cup of barbecue sauce to create the filling.

Take about 2 tablespoons of the filling and place it in the center of a medium-sized tortilla (7 inch).

Roll the tortilla around the filling, ensuring it is tightly wrapped.

If needed, warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the taquitos for about 15 minutes until they are ready.

Serve with extra barbecue sauce or salsa if desired.
