    Notes

    **To freeze taquitos, fill and roll tortillas as directed. Then place on a baking sheet seam side down and place in freezer for a couple of hours or until frozen. Then put frozen taquitos in a ziplock freezer bag and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
    **Bake in a preheated oven to 425 degrees for 18-25 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.

      Could I make the chicken in the instant pot instead of my crockpot?

      I want to make tonight but it’s too late for the slow cooker 😆
