Homemade Chicken Taquito Dinner Recipe

I decided to give a little break to my usual rich  chocolate dessert recipes and pay attention to clean eating and I still stick to my New Year’s resolution. I haven’t given up yet or get back to old habits.

Actually a few days ago I shared easy and healthy breakfast recipe for Skinny Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins and today I’m  sharing an easy dinner recipe. It’s Easy Chicken Taquitos Recipe.

Now that the holidays are behind us we have to go back to work, kids go to school but all have to eat. And I mean to eat healthy, real homemade food, not some junk food. Yes, we are all very busy but it doesn’t mean that we should forget our health. But even in a very short time we can prepare a tasty and healthy meal for whole family.

Baked Chicken Taquitos with Avocado Dip

This meal is combo of baked chicken and fresh vegetables rolled into crispy tortillas. Plus you have delicious and easy Avocado Dip as a side dish. When you dip crispy Taquitos in this creamy Avocado sauce and take a first bite, you will add this recipe to your regular weeknight dinner menu.

You don’t even have to stick to this recipe exactly. You can make a few changes, add your favorite vegetables, spice or whatever you have on hand.

How to Make These Chicken Wraps:

This time I used chicken breasts, cheese, green bell pepper, onion, corn and salsa and as a side I served lettuce and cherry-tomato. I like to eat these tasty Easy Chicken Taquitos with Avocado Dip. This easy avocado dip is simple mixture of mashed avocado, sour cream and freshly squeezed lime juice. The recipe is super simple and easy.  If you like these ingredients you have to try it.

Also if you love the combination of chicken and avocado, make sure to check my Chicken Avocado Burritos and Chicken Avocado Crescent Ring Recipe, too.

Can the avocado dip be made a day in advance and kept in the fridge?
