Recipe Tips
  • Shredding Chicken - You can easily shred the chicken with two forks. But for an easier option, learn How to Shred Chicken with a Mixer.
  • Cream Cheese - To easily combine the cream cheese with the other ingredients, we recommend starting with room temperature cream cheese.
  • Cooking Time - Cooking time will vary on the chicken. It will depend on the size of the chicken and your slow cooker. Make sure to check it after 4 hours so the chicken does not dry out.
  • Baking Tortillas - If you prefer, you can place the prepared chicken taquitos in a single layer on a baking sheet. Then bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. This will result in a crispy golden brown tortilla.
Variations Ideas
  • Cheese - Feel free to use any kinds of cheese that you prefer. We have used Mexican Blend Cheese, Colby Monterrey Jack Cheese and Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Make sure to shred cheese from a hunk as it taste better.
  • Tortillas - We like to use flour tortillas, but you can also use corn or any type that you prefer.
  • Seasoning - Feel free to substitute the seasoning for Easy Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe or you can use a packet.
