I want some taquitos.

I'm back!

Its been too long since i've written. I guess its been along winter. Winter stifles my creativity. Correction: Winter stifles my energy. I still love to create in the winter, but the short days and long nights make me want to curl up and knit instead of write.

That is why I am glad its spring!!! Here are some photos of some lovely spring flowers and my latest kitchen adventure, Taquitos.

On to the recipe! I adapted this form an epicurious recipe for chicken taquitos.

One store bought rotisserie chicken, skin taken off and meat pulled.

8 oz of sour cream

1 C. shredded smoked Gouda

1C. shredded Monterrey jack

1 C.  diced red onions

One 4oz can of diced green chilies

2 C. frozen corn

1 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. fresh ground pepper

flour tortillas-I used the fajita sized ones which worked out well.

1/4 C. Peanut oil

Combine all the ingredients but the tortillas and oil. Spoon 1-2 Tbs of filling into a tortilla. Roll up burrito style, folding the ends in. Secure with a toothpick.

Heat 1/4 C peanut oil in a large cast iron or heavy skillet. Fry taquitos until golden brown all around.

Serve with your favorite Mexican sides. We ate ours plain, and they were delicious!
