Baked Peach Chicken Taquitos are both sweet and savory, a great way to feature peaches, fresh or frozen.  Don’t forget the yogurt chipotle topping for an interesting kick. A Quick, Easy and Delicious weeknight dinner.

Baked Peach Chicken Taquitos on plateA friend’s family and my family always try to get together at or around Christmas where we cook a themed dinner. Last year it was Italian and this year we decided to try Tex-Mex. I had experimented with this baked peach chicken taquitos when fresh peaches were abundant and wanted to try it out again on my gang to see if it would be good enough for our dinner. These were as just as good as I remembered and my picky eaters all loved them.

What is a taquito

These aren’t actually taquitos because a taquito is a corn tortilla stuffed with meat and cheese and then fried. These are first of all baked, not fried, and second, I used flour tortillas instead of corn so it’s really a flauta, but we just call them baked taquitos.

The first time I made these I had fresh peaches. However, in the middle of winter, frozen peaches work just fine. The peaches and mild onions combine for the perfect sweet and savory combination. I added sriracha to the chicken mixture to give it a kick, but the real heat comes form the yogurt chipotle topping. If you really likes things spicy, add some jalapeños to the mixture.

How do you make baked taquitos

You don’t need a recipe for this quick and easy meal and you can make the filling in advance so all you have to do is assemble and bake.  Here are the simple steps:
  1. Sauté some onions in a skillet. Add rotisserie chicken, peaches and sriracha and cook in the skillet for about 5 minutes. Add some cheese.
  2. Place your chicken peach mixture into a tortilla and form into rolls.
  3. Brush with olive oil, salt and bake. I sprinkled some ground chipotle powder on top, but that’s optional.
  4. Mix some chipotle peppers with yogurt for an amazing sauce.
