Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Recently I made enchiladas that blew John's mind. He was obsessed with them. Since that meal was such a hit I decided to try another Mexican inspired meal and see if it was as big of a hit. These taquitos were quite the rage in the blog world a few months ago so I decided to give them a shot.

Honestly, they couldn't have been any easier to make! Mix some stuff together, stuff it in a tortilla, and roll it. It was super easy and resulted in a delicious meal. Best of all they freeze well which means I will be making these again as part of my meal prep for before the baby comes. I am not a huge Mexican fan and even I really enjoyed these. If you are like my husband and love Mexican I'm sure these would be perfect for you.
