Baked Chicken Taquitos

These are heavenly and not too complicated to make!

8 Chicken Thighs
1 Bottle of beer(I used guiness because thats what I have to use in my cakes for st.pattys day)
2 Cups Water

Put your thighs(fat removed) in a big mama skillet and cover them with the beer and water.  Bring the liquid to a boil then turn it down to medium heat and cover.  Let cook for about 12 minutes.  You want the meat to be done and tender.

While your meat is cooking get your spices all mixed up together.

2 Tablespoons of Cumin
2 Tablespoons of Chili Powder
2 Tablespoons of minced garlic
1 Tablespoon of Paprika ( I use Hungarian hot paprika)
1 Teaspoon of Salt

In a good size mixing bowl mix together

1/2 can of drained Black Beans
1/2 can of diced Tomatoes

Add the spices to that mixture

When the chicken is done take it out of the broth and add it to the bowl of spices, beans and tomatoes.
Leave a little broth in the pan and add
4 or 5 big handfuls of fresh spinach and let it get all wilty in that juice then throw it in the bowl.  Just chunk the juice down the drain.  Such a waste, I know.

Get out your hand mixer and start to tear into the chicken or you could just shred it by hand.  I don't ever have enough time for that so I just let my mixer do it really fast for me.

You need about 20 medium size Whole wheat Tortillas.  I buy the organic ones that you keep in the freezer until you need them.  I think the brand is Annies or something.  Cut them in half.

You want to add a thin line of the chicken mixture on the straight end of the tortilla and roll it up tight.  Place it on a cookie sheet and go on to the next.  This will make two giant cookie sheets of taquitos.  Brush Olive Oil on the tops and put them in the oven on 450 for about 15 minutes.  Voila!

My family of 6 only eats one pan so the other pan of them goes all packaged neatly in the freezer for snacks or a meal on down the road!  If you have less children than me you could probably stretch this into 4 or 5 meals.
