Light Baked Chicken Taquitos

The key to this is marinating the ground chicken. Some people look for cheesy, pan fried taquitos, but these are meant to be a bit healthier. So, the chicken needs marinated to give ample flavor.

1/2 tsp

Cooking instructions

Mince garlic and oregano leaves, dice onion and place all in a medium mixing bowl. Add remained of marinade ingredients and stir to mix completely. Add ground chicken and with your hands or rubber spatula, gently stir until mixed thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
