I know there is a big basketball event coming up, and when most people watch sports tournaments they want some good food to munch on. Well, I may not watch the games, but I can help you with the food! These Zesty Baked Chicken Taquitos are simple to throw together and have an added ingredient, that I think, makes these top notch!

This special ingredient is peaking through the guacamole that it’s served with too…

Have I given you enough hints?! Okay, okay! It’s RO*TEL!

One of my favorite party dips is the original Famous Queso dip recipe using RO*TEL and Velveeta! I may have even put that dip on a burger. So I thought it would be a great idea to use the RO*TEL to spice up some creamy chicken taquitos! And I was right! Head to Walmart and grab a few cans. You’ll want this Buy 3 get 1 FREE coupon to take with you! Find the RO*TEL in the aisle with the canned vegetables and other diced tomatoes.

This exclusive RO*TEL coupon is good (while supplies) until April 6th so download and use yours TODAY!

Your basketball friends will love coming to watch the game at your house with you when you serve these delicious Zesty Baked Chicken Taquitos! All you need is cooked shredded chicken (we used rotisserie chicken for ours), some spices, lime juice, shredded cheese, cream cheese, tortillas, and RO*TEL. You will also need some cooking spray or olive oil and a pastry brush to help the taquitos crisp up while baking. Grab a couple of avocados and half of a lemon for the guacamole dip too.

Stir up the chicken mixture, spread it on a tortilla and roll it up tightly. This recipe makes 8 to 10 taco sized flour tortilla taquitos (say that 5x fast!), depending on how much you fill them. I like to cut mine in half after they are baked, so you get 16 to 20 servings.

Cover a baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with some cooking spray or brush it with olive oil and put the taquitos seam side down. Then brush or spray the tops of the taquitos and sprinkle them with salt. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, flip them over, and bake 5 minutes more, so both sides get crispy and lightly browned.

While the taquitos are baking, cut 2 avocados in half, take out the pit, and use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a bowl. Sprinkle the avocados with the juice of half of a lemon, then mash them with a fork. Add the remaining RO*TEL, and then salt to taste.

Cut the taquitos diagonally in half and place them on a plate with a bowl of the prepared guacamole. Dig in and enjoy!!! Be sure to pick up your cans of RO*TEL to make game day a big hit!
