The first thing most people ask when they see this recipe is “how did you make these with a slow cooker?” And the second question is always, “can I have another one?!” Creamy, spicy and absolutely delicious, these crockpot Chicken Taquitos bake up a big bowl of creamy shredded chicken, which is then then stirred together with fresh-chopped jalapenos, rolled into mini tortillas and baked until golden brown. Quick and simple, these yummy noshes are as great to eat for dinner as they are to snack on! You’ve simply got to grab your slow cooker and give this one a try!

A full batch of this creamy chicken filling will make about 16-24 taquitos. To bake them all at once, you’ll need an extra-large baking sheet like the Good Cook AirPerfect Nonstick 18×13″ Half-Sheet Cake Pan. With a channeled surface for airflow and even baking, this easy-to-clean nonstick pan makes it easy to bake a big batch crispy, golden taquitos. If you’re entertaining friends or prepping for big family meal, game-day party or neighborhood potluck, an full sized sheet pan is indispensible for prep and serving big portions.
