Do these look good or what? We have been making these for a few years now and absolutely love them. So, you have to make these, because you and your family will absolutely love everything about them. We made these last Sunday for dinner, we were going to grill up some steaks, but Jake was golfing all day, so when he got home, he wanted something quick and easy. These taquitos are just that . . . quick and easy. I hurried and threw some seasoning on a chicken breast and baked it in the oven for about 45 minutes, but if you have leftover chicken or even a rotisserie chicken, feel free to use that. One large Costco chicken breast is enough for five taquitos.

Top each tortilla with some shredded chicken and some shredded cheese. Roll up tightly and fasten with a toothpick.
