- For the Sauce:
- 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with taco seasoning and 1 cup of cheese.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
- Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the enchilada sauce and sour cream until smooth.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the taquitos, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with black beans or sautéed vegetables.
