Imagine if Chicken Pot Pie and Broccoli Cheddar Soup had a love child- you have Cheddar Chicken Broccoli Taquitos. These nostalgic flavors wrapped in a baked, grain-free taquito are kiddo friendly, comforting and delicious served with a scratch-made chive cream cheese dipping sauce. cheddar, chicken and broccoli all rolled up in a buttery tortilla? a match made in heaven!

meal prep friendly:

this recipe is ideal for back-to-school meal prep as it yields a large batch that you can serve, and then freeze the leftovers, for simple defrosting and reheating on busy weeknights. extra bonus- they are meal prep friendly and my toddler loved eating them!

for easy freezing, lay your leftover Cheddar Chicken & Broccoli taquitos out on a small sheet pan and freeze them. after frozen, simply transfer them to a storage bag and freeze. with this method, your taquitos won’t stick together and you can grab one, (or five!), out at a time.

we served our cheddar chicken & broccoli taquitos with organic canned refried black beans and a quick slaw- easy peasy!

My family loved these! I am wondering if I was supposed to put 1/4 c in each tortilla as the filling only filled about 8 versus the recipe that calls for 16. Regardless they were great!

Hi there Sarah, I’m so happy you loved them. And you are correct, it is 1/4 cup per tortilla. I have updated the recipe and certainly appreciate you bringing it to my attention. I must have had a hiccup when converting my recipes to the new recipe cards like a blogging novice 🙂 Thanks for sticking with me. -Callie

Unbelievably good! These were enjoyed by our whole family (including my 2 year old). I was hoping we would have leftovers to freeze, but we ended up eating them all! haha I will definitely be making these again!

These are seriously so good and pretty easy to make! I had used these tortillas before and was not a fan, but by following Callie’s recipe instructions, they are my new favorite thing.
