Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients for Chicken Taquitos

• 1 store-bought whole roasted chicken

• 240ml favourite barbecue sauce

• 1 (450g) container soured cream

• 1 (130g) can chopped green chillies

• 325g frozen corn, thawed

• 1 small red onion, diced

• 1 clove garlic, peeled, crushed, and minced

• 120g shredded smoked Gouda cheese

• 230g shredded Monterey Jack cheese

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon chilli powder

• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

• 24 flour tortillas

• 240ml vegetable oil, for frying

• Favourite salsa and guacamole, for serving

In a large bowl, debone the chicken and shred the meat. Add the barbecue sauce, soured cream, chopped green chillies, corn, red onion, garlic, both cheeses, and spices. Toss well.

In a large pan over moderate heat, warm 60ml oil until it sizzles. Meanwhile, put 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling into each tortilla, roll, and secure with a toothpick. Working in 4 batches (wipe the pan clean and add 60ml fresh oil between batches), pan-fry until the tortillas are golden brown and the mixture is warm, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel, transfer to a platter (or serve 2 per plate), and serve with your favourite salsa and guacamole.
