For real.

So, I know it’s football season and all and the rest of the world is excited about the sporting aspects of that. I’m just gonna be honest with you. I’m kinda like… meh.

Easy Chicken Taquitos

Football isn’t a thing in my house. I have cared about football approximately once in my life, when I happened to be in Pittsburgh when the Steelers won the playoffs. I was sitting in a theater, ready to see a show, but the crowd let out a collective cheer at a few minutes before 8, when the house lights were still on and the atmosphere was positively electric.

Ok, and I care about getting invited to football events with food. Because let’s be honest there’s normally delish things like cheesy buffalo chicken dip or Asian barbecue wings or taco sliders. Well, now there are these 5 ingredient chicken taquitos.

Easy Chicken Taquitos

I have a huge thing for taquitos. Like almost obsession, even though I only eat them like once a year. Once a year on Christmas Eve, after midnight mass, we go back to my dad’s house for a gift exchange at like 1 in the morning. Since it’s been so long since dinner, we do what any regular person does at 1 am. We eat snacks. And every year, my dad, being very skilled with a microwave, buys freezer taquitos and salsa. And every year, my siblings and husband polish them off in like 30 seconds flat. We tackle each other over them.

Which made me think, taquitos are the perfect football food. See what I did there? That was a killer segue, if I do say so myself.

Easy 5 Ingredient Chicken Taquitos

And really these easy 5 ingredient chicken taquitos are so easy. You just need corn tortillas, a rotisserie chicken, Pace®, cheese, and olive oil. And because I like to give my family options, I made these taquitos in 2 varieties: I did a Pace® Salsa Verde chicken taquito and a Pace® Chunky Salsa Medium. You can get all of these things in one easy shop at Walmart and better yet, check out an awesome Ibotta® deal on Pace® products at Walmart! Earn $0.50 cash back with Ibotta® when you purchase a jar of Pace®! (Offer is valid on any ONE (1) 15 oz. or larger Pace® Salsa or Pace® Picante Sauce.)

Since Pace® Salsas are so full of flavor, I didn’t need to use a bunch of spices to season the chicken filling. The salsa brought enough flavor to the party. Which was nice, given that my Goose likes to help cook these days. And by help, I mean dump in so much pepper that my eyes burn. Thankfully I didn’t even have to reach for it with this.
