Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1 cup diced hatch green chiles (fresh or roasted)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 flour or corn tortillas
2 tsp ground cumin
½ cup sour cream (for dipping)
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and cumin; cook until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes per side.
2. Remove chicken from skillet and shred it using two forks.
3. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with diced hatch chiles and both cheeses until well combined.
4. Take a tortilla, place two tablespoons of the mixture in the center, roll tightly, and arrange seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Lightly spray each taquito with cooking spray. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
