recipe: fajitos (ghetto taquitos)

so... didn't really know what to do for din tonight. had a piece of chicken breast, jalapeno, and tortillas (but no peppers) so decided to give ghetto taquitos a whirl. this isn't so much a recipe as it is an quick assembly of food, but it was still a good lil snack-dinner so it's worth sharing... they came out too big to be called a taquito, but not they're quite a burrito so we're going to roll with 'fajito' on this one.

ingredients list:
- 3 tortillas
- 1 boneless chicken breast
- 3 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 cup monteray jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 2 jalepenos, seeded & diced
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 3-4 tbsp canola oil
- cracked black pepper to taste
- ranch for dippin

to make: bring small pot of water to a boil, and heat chicken in boiling water for 10-15 minutes, until completely cooked through. remove chicken and shred with 2 forks. 

sautee onion & jalapeno in 1 tbsp canola oil in large skillet until soft. remove from skillet, and mix with cream cheese, shredded cheeses, hot sauce, and chicken. add remaining 2-4 tbsp canola oil to skillet, and bring to medium-high heat. while skillet is heating, roll up cheese/chicken/veggie mixture into the tortillas, as thin as you can get them. add to skillet, and crisp up for 1-2 minutes per side until nice & toasty. serve w/ ranch or more hot sauce.

rating: yummy. 5.5 *****~? if i had more veggies/seasonings and gave these puppies a real frying they would be epic... but veggies=grocery store and frying=effort AND fat. as-is though, good for a quick dinner, minimal effort/ingredients. would be a good thing to make in large quantity for an app, IF they were slimmed down to actual taquito-width.
