Taquitos

Ingredients:
Cooked chicken
Corn tortillas (I use white corn, but yellow corn work as well)
Taco seasoning packet
Oil (I use canola)

Directions: In a pan boil enough chicken until done. After it is done cut it up or shred it with a fork. Place in a bowl and add the seasoning packet to the chicken.

While the chicken is cooking. I take a skillet and add some oil to it. I turn the oil on to just above warm- NOT too hot. Then I take how ever many tortillas I am going to make and dip each one in the warm oil. This softens the tortillas and makes it so they can roll. I just place them on a plate with a paper towel until the chicken is ready.

Once the chicken is seasoned and ready place however much chicken you would like in one end of the tortilla. Roll it up, carefully place it in pan with oil. (You will need to turn the oil up at this point but don't let it get to hot because they will burn). Until you get the hang of it you can place a tooth pick to hold it so it doesn't come unrolled. Place several in the pan next to each other and it will help them from unrolling. Turn them so all sides get cooked.
We eat them with guacamole but you can do salsa or beans. Practice makes perfect. The first couple may be tricky but it gets easier.
