Exploding Chicken Taquitos
- 1 (9 3/4 to 10-ounce) can 98-percent fat-free chunk white chicken breast in water, drained and flaked
- 1/2 cup salsa, plus more, as dip, optional
- 1/3 cup shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dry taco seasoning mix
- 8 (6-inch) yellow corn tortillas
- Fat-free sour cream, as dip, optional
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and salsa, and mix thoroughly.

- Remove chicken mixture from the refrigerator, and drain any excess liquid.
- Add cheese and taco seasoning, and mix to combine.
- This is your filling.
- Set aside.
- Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick spray.
- Set aside.
- Dampen 2 paper towels, and place tortillas between them.
- Microwave for about 1 minute, until tortillas are warm and pliable.
- Place one tortilla flat on a clean dry surface (keep the rest between the paper towels), and spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons filling onto the tortilla.
- Spread it evenly across the entire surface, and roll the tortilla up tightly, so that you have a cigar-shaped tube.
