Chicken Taquitos

Chicken Taquitos

Mexican is my go to this week. Chicken Taquitos are amazing, they are easy and these I made low fat. They were delicious!

I guess we’re on a Mexican kick. I feel like these recipes are easy to make low calorie and low fat and still be delicious. We swam all day yesterday and so this was an easy recipe to throw together at the end of the day.

I did make my own corn tortillas because I think they roll best without cracking, even though some of them still did crack a little bit. These were so good, I will definitely be making them again and even trying to figure out how to freeze them so I can meal prep them for busy days during the school year.
