Chicken Fajita Taquitos

 Chicken Fajita Taquitos

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoon butter
• 1 large onion thinly sliced sliced
• 2 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into small thin strips
• 2 medium bell peppers any color, thinly sliced
• Packet of fajita seasoning
• 1 cup Mexican cheese blend shredded
• 12 burrito size flour tortillas
• ¼ cup butter melted

Instructions

1.                Prep the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with the melted butter.

2.                Cook the chicken. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and add the chicken to it. Season the chicken with half the fajita seasoning and toss to coat. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes until its no longer pink, and it's slightly charred, but not burned. Remove chicken from skillet let cool. Break into smaller pieces.

3.                Cook the veggies. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and melt. Add the onion and peppers, season with remaining fajita seasoning and cook for a couple minutes until the onion peppers soften and the onion becomes translucent.

4.                Assemble the taquitos. Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board and top with some chicken fajita mixture, and a couple tablespoons of cheddar cheese. Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Brush the taquitos with melted butter.

5.                Bake. Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until tortillas are nicely golden brown. If they're still not golden after the 15 minutes, turn the broiler on and broil them for 1 to 2 minutes until golden, watching it carefully to not burn.

6.                Ready to serve. Serve with salsa, refried beans and/or sour cream.
