Baked Chicken Taquitos with Verde sauce is just plain simple and delicious. The use of bright and vibrant Tomatillo sauce really makes this dish. Verde sauce, also known as the green sauce and is made from the main ingredient, Tomatillos.

What Are Tomatillo's

Here's a picture of a freshly picked Tomatillo. The Tomatillo fruit is surrounded by an inedible, paper-like husk formed from the calyx. As the fruit matures, it fills the husk and can split open by harvest. The husk turns brown, and the fruit can be several colors when ripe, including yellow, green, or even purple. The freshness and greenness of the husk are quality criteria. Tomatillo in natural wrapper

The tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica), also known as the Mexican husk tomato, is a plant of the nightshade family bearing small, spherical, and green or green-purple fruit of the same name. Tomatillos originated in Mexico and were cultivated in the pre-Columbian era. A staple of Mexican cuisine, they are eaten raw or cooked in a variety of dishes, particularly salsa verde.

How To Make Baked Chicken Taquitos

The first order of business is the chicken. In the video, I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Most grocery stores offer fully cooked chickens for around $7 to $10. A true time-saver. But if you're like me, you enjoy cooking your own chicken. There are a bunch of ways to cook a whole chicken.

Here's Butter-n-Thyme's Perfect Roast Chicken recipe with step-by-step instructions. If you try this recipe please come back and leave a comment telling us how much you loved the perfect roast chicken recipe.

Perfect roast chicken

The average roaster chicken is around 6 to 7 pounds. For this recipe, I used all the parts of the chicken.

You could substitute whichever is your favorite part of the chicken and shred the chicken into manageable bites size pieces.

Knife Skills: Julienne Cut & Brunoise Cut

Prepping the Red Bell Pepper: When cooking, it's good to be thinking about the end product you are creating.

  • What will the mouth feel be like?
  • Will it be easy enough to eat?

This is where knife skills come into play. Make sure to cut everything evenly, so as to ensure an even cooking time.

In the video, you'll see exactly how to cut the Red Bell Pepper.

After rolling the Taquito's, place them into a casserole dish and cover them with plastic wrap. Place the casserole dish into the refrigerator until you are ready to have an easy weeknight dinner.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and bake for 10 minutes. The type of tortilla I used is a mix of corn and flour. You should be able to find these in your grocery store. First, they are easier to roll up and second they offer the best of both worlds when it comes to tortillas & texture. Taquito's plastic wrapped
