Street corn chicken taquitos
The Austin Collection by Libbey is the perfect base for all of your recipes – and I especially love the matching bowls for a full spread!
I used them alongside these simple chicken street corn taquitos – here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
Tortillas
Chicken – rotisserie or shredded works great.
Corn – use fresh roasted, canned, or frozen
Purple onion, diced
Dressing:
About 1 cup mayonnaise
Juice from 2-3 limes
A few sprigs of diced cilantro
1 tbs sriracha
1 tbs chili lime seasoning
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
How-to:
1. If you’re using fresh corn, brush with melted butter and roast for 20-25 minutes at 425˚.
2. Toss corn, chicken, and onion with sauce until covered (this recipe should make enough to have some to save & dip).
3. Roll a scoop of the mixture in a tortilla, and bake for 10-15 minutes at 400˚ until browned and crispy.
Street corn chicken taquitos are a delightful twist on classic Mexican cuisine, combining the flavors of roasted corn with tender chicken wrapped in crispy tortillas.
