If you are in a dinner rush, and need something to make that's quick and delicious, I highly recommend these Baked BBQ Chicken Taquitos. They are so easy to make, and have amazing flavor. You will love them.

We are big BBQ chicken lovers around here. I thought I would create a BBQ chicken recipe that even my picky 3 year old would go for.

We all devoured them so quickly and my little guy loved them.

My husband and I loved them too. I dipped mine in a little extra bbq sauce, and my husband dipped his in some ranch.

The combination was amazing. They are so simple to make, inexpensive, and fun for kids.

Your whole family will love these cute and delicious BBQ Chicken Taquitos. They are easy to eat, make, and eat more than a recommended serving size (they are just that good).

HOW TO MAKE BBQ CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2: In a large pan, warm olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3: Saute onion in oil until soft. Add shredded chicken and BBQ sauce to pan and combine.

Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and mozzarella cheese.

Step 5: Spread chicken mixture evenly between 10 tortillas.

Step 6: Roll up and place seam side down on a greased cookie sheet. Spray the tops of taquitos with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 7: Cook for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Can you turn these Baked BBQ Chicken Taquitos into a freezer meal?

Yes, this recipe will most definitely work as a freezer meal. I love making these a week or three in advance and having them ready for a really busy night.

When we are ready for dinner, I place them in the oven at 350 for about 20-25 minutes, and they are ready to go.

You could also microwave them if you are in a hurry, but I prefer the oven because I feel like they have more crunch to them, and don’t get soggy from the moisture in the microwave.

Found this on pinterest and I already had a bag of frozen BBQ shredded chicken int he freezer from a previous meal so they came together really fast. Thanks for saving dinner!
Kathleen says:

These turned out really good, thanks for posting! I am not a fan of cilantro, so added some green pepper with the onion. I used whole wheat tortillas and tried a few corn tortillas, but wheat were better.
Judie says:

I’m just making these now. The look delicious. I made them with leftover BBQ chicken. I have one question if we are freezing them do we bake them ahead?
Momma Cyd says:

You can do either way. If you don't bake them, just take from the freezer and follow the directions in the recipe for freezer meal. Or you can bake them and freeze them. Then reheat in a microwave or thaw and reheat in the oven just until heated through.
