Ingredients

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers with juice
0.25 cup green enchilada sauce
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
16 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded pepperjack cheese
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

In a slow cooker, combine chicken thighs, cream cheese, jalapeño peppers with their juice, green enchilada sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and stir it with the sauce in the slow cooker to combine thoroughly.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Lay the tortillas flat on a work surface. Sprinkle pepper jack cheese evenly in the center of each. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture over the cheese on each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the top and sides of each with vegetable oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortillas begin to brown. Position the oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. Broil the taquitos until they are crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
