INSTRUCTIONS
Heat a pan with some olive oil. Sauté onions until caramelized. Add minced garlic and saute for additional 30-seconds. Take it out cool it down for 30-minutes at room temperature.
In a food processor, add sautéed onions and Garlic. Into that add softened cream cheese, cumin, cayenne pepper, Dried Oregano, salt, and pepper. Pulse it until chunky smooth.
Take it out in a bowl. Add Chicken, Corn, and Enchilada Sauce into your mixture. Mix well until combined. (if you like refried beans, or Rotel tomatoes, or salsa in your taquitos, you can add them now)
Stir in any cheese that you like. I used Colby jack cheese.
Spoon the filling into the center of each tortilla. Smear 1/2 tsp. of Cream Cheese on the top edge of each flour tortilla. This helps to fold the taquitos. Roll them up from the side and place them seam side down in a baking sheet.
Bake them in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15-17 minutes or until the sides are lightly browned.Garnish with green onions or cilantro on top. Serve with Salsa or Sour Cream or ranch or Gaucamole.
