Laura's Creamy Chicken Taquitos

These taquitos are full of chicken, cheese and flavor. They are really easy to make and are a great snack, fun for game day or a great dinner!

   These taquitos were originally my cousin's recipe but we have adopted them as one of our own. It has been love at first bite for everyone in our family. They are creamy, cheesy, full of flavor and easy to make. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauces for an extra special treat. They are a great hearty game day snack or a super fun dinner entree.


     When I asked my family for some family favorite recipes, this is one of the recipes my aunt Marlene gave me.  She said she couldn't take credit for it though, it was really one Laura had started making but everyone loved them!

    I was really excited to give them a try as Laura is quite the cook.  They were delicious and much easier to make than I had anticipated. They are so creamy cheesy and the flavor is great!

     My little family was instantly in love with this recipe.  My extended family didn't take long to follow suit.

   MiMi made them a few years ago for a girls night after she saw them here on the blog.  Grandma joined us at that girls night and she made them after that!

    We all love them and make the frequently!  Since this was originally posted long only a little over a month into my blogging adventure, I thought I should refresh the post and share it with you again.  If you haven't made them yet, do yourself a favor and give them a try!
