Crock pot chicken taquitos recipe

The shredded chicken and cream cheese make an amazing combination. Not to mention the extra shredded cheese. We like to serve it with a side of Easy Spanish Rice.

It’s even easier if you keep some of this rice in the freezer for easy weeknights. It doesn’t get any easier and it’s so delicious! This meal is a family favorite and on our normal menu plan rotation.

Everyone just loves it!

How to make Homemade Chicken Taquitos Recipe:

First, get a small bowl and combine the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix this together.

Second, put the chicken and the seasoning mixture in the crockpot. Add the water.

Next, cook on low for 4 hours. Once the chicken is finished cooking, take it out of the slow cooker and shred with 2 forks.

The chicken will be so tender and very easy to shred.

Mix the cream cheese and part of the shredded cheese with the chicken.

Keep stirring until the cheese is melted. The chicken will be warm and help the cheese to melt.

Tips for easy chicken taquitos:

It cooks perfectly in a 4.5 quart crock pot. That is the best size for this recipe. If you don’t already have one, Amazon has several crock pots on sale.

Now I’m all for making life easier! Use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and no more scrubbing crock pots clean!

This is also a really easy freezer meal. You can cook the chicken and freeze it for later. When ready to enjoy, add the cream cheese and shredded cheese to the chicken. Fix the taquitos as normal in the tortilla.

We love to double the recipe and freeze part of the chicken for another night. It does not take anymore work to do this and you have a meal ready for another night. Meal prep is such a big time saver and makes busy weeknights much easier. If you have an instant pot, you can use that to cook the chicken.

Feel free to use taco seasoning on the chicken if you prefer.

It’s that easy to make this Crockpot Chicken Taquitos Recipe. 

My family is all for Taco Tuesday! This is a favorite with everyone and requested frequently. Sometimes I also make the best Mexican White Cheese Dip and chips for an extra treat.

It’s all so good! Give it a try and let u know what your family thinks.

    I really love Mexican cuisine, although I live in a completely different part of the world … Great recipe. I want to cook this weekend. Thank you!

  2. Sorry for the confusion. The seasoning mixture gets added to the crock pot with this chicken. This is a typo and I’m fixing it now. Thank you!

  3. Looks yummy! Do the seasonings get added with the shredded chicken and cheeses? Or in the crockpot with the chicken?
