• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
• 1/2 c. water
• 1 T. chili powder
• 2 t. cumin
• 1 t. garlic powder
• 1 t. salt
• Corn tortillas
• Oil for frying

1. Place chicken in a large skillet and cover with tomato sauce, water and seasonings. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover skillet and cook for about 25 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked. Cool and shred chicken.

2. Heat about an inch of oil in a skillet. Warm a small stack of corn tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Spoon some chicken filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and secure with a toothpick.

3. Fry about 3 taquitos at a time, depending on the size of your skillet. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove taquitos to drain and sprinkle immediately with a little salt. Repeat process until done, keeping finished taquitos warm in the oven.
