1
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a food processor, add tomato, onion, chile peppers, and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped, not liquified.

Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
4
Add the chopped chicken to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken along with salt and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes until the liquid is nearly evaporated, stirring occasionally.

Lightly coat both sides of each tortilla with the remaining olive oil and place them in a stack and wrap them in aluminium foil.

Bake for 5 minutes until they are soft and pliable.

For each taquito, place about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and 1 tablespoon of cheddar cheese on the lower third of each warm tortilla, then roll up tightly.

Place the taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, and lightly spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese has melted.

Serve hot, with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the side for dipping.
