Taquitos

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the canola oil, then add the chopped onion. Stir for a couple of minutes until tender. Add garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder and cayenne, and continue to cook a minute longer, letting the spices bloom. Add the shredded chicken, cheese and chiles. Mix everything together until the cheese is almost melted.

Set aside the chicken filling and wipe your skillet clean. Over medium heat, use a small splash of oil and heat tortillas one at a time for about 5 seconds per side. Set up a rolling station with your warmed tortillas, filling, toothpicks and a greased baking sheet. Place 2 tablespoons of chicken filling over the lower third of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks, then place them on the baking sheet seam side down.

Bake until lightly browned, seven to nine minutes. Discard toothpicks. Serve with optional toppings: shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa, guacamole or additional cheese.
