  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (4-ounce) can of green chiles, drained
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 12 to 14 corn tortillas, taco size
  • 1 cup jack cheese
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit

2. Put extra virgin olive oil and chopped onion into your Lodge pre-seasoned cast iron pan and saute over medium-high heat until the onion is soft. Add chipotle peppers, black pepper, sea salt and green chiles, then continue to saute on medium-high heat for another five minutes.

To form the taquitos, roll the cheese and the chicken mixture into each tortilla and place it into a glass baking dish. Once the tortillas are in the dish, top them with olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes.
