#Evergriller barbecue sauce BBQ chicken football game day kid-friendly main dish recipe side dish tailgate taquito

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' Kitchen

One thing I love about living in Northern California is that we can grill practically year round. I have to admit, there’s times I’m envious of my friends that get to experience a white Christmas or actually see all four seasons. However, I remember our beautiful weather and how fortunate we are to go outside and grill during what is typically the coldest winter months, and I thank my lucky stars.

No matter which team you were rooting for this past weekend, I think we can all agree that many of our favorite game day foods are typically made on an outdoor grill.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenIn January, Kraft Barbecue Sauce celebrated the launch of their newly revamped line of of sauces with a new package design and improved recipes that include ingredients that are high in quality like tomatoes, sweet molasses, cider vinegar and cane sugar. When it came time to make over their sauces Kraft discovered that quality ingredients and bold flavors were what consumers really wanted. Kraft also switched to cane sugar when they discovered that most consumers are shying away from high fructose corn syrup. The new Kraft barbecue sauces include:

  • Original
  • Hickory Smoke
  • Sweet Honey
  • Mesquite Smoke
  • Sweet Brown Sugar
  • Sweet & Spicy
  • Spicy Honey
  • Thick & Spicy

In celebration of the new Kraft Barbecue Sauces, some really cool grilling innovations were developed for the winter release of these sauces, just in time for game day across the country. At a time when many people are experiencing cold weather, rain and snow, the Evergriller Grill ‘N’ Flip Mitt is the perfect accessory for Evergrillers – those barbecue lovers that fire up the grill no matter what the weather conditions are like. For some really great cold weather grilling tips, check out Grillin Fools top five cold weather grilling tips.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenI’m familiar with Evergrillers, because I just so happen to be married to one. I recall when we had our first apartment together and it had this really nice sized enclosed patio. We had this teeny tiny little barbecue pit that wasn’t even a foot off the ground and my man would go out there and make some of the best barbecue chicken I’ve had in my life. There were days it was freezing and raining out there, but we just had to have our chicken and he made it happen on this little piece of equipment. I knew he’d love the Evergriller Grill ‘N’ Flip Mitt because not only does it keep his hands protected from the heat of the grill, it also keeps his hands warm when it’s cold outside.

The velcro on the mitt keeps it locked closed and you’re able to grip the tools and get the job done without risking the weather. It’s the perfect invention for the grill master in your life.

We tried it out on game day and it was a hit! My honey made his chicken just how I love and these new sauces enhanced the flavor even more. I was so struck with how good those sauces were that I decided to create another fun finger food recipe with the leftover chicken and a little bit of extra sauce. Both recipes would be a hit at your next get-together, no matter the weather! The flavor of the chicken taquitos is just amazing, the barbecue sauce adds a sweetness you’ll enjoy that contrasts well with the kick in the pepper jack cheese and the crunch of the oven baked taquitos.

Barbecue Chicken Ingredients:

  • 4 pounds of chicken (picnic pack)
  • 1 tablespoon chicken rub
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon seasoning salt
  • Kraft Hickory Smoke Barbecue Sauce and/or Kraft Sweet Honey Barbecue Sauce

Directions:

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenBegin by removing the skin from the chicken, patting it dry and seasoning it.

Heat up your grill to a medium/high heat and position your chicken on an oiled cooking grate with the larger cuts over the hottest part and the smaller pieces on the outside of the heat source. Close the lid and check in a few minutes.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenOnce the meat begins to get a golden color, flip the meat to the other side. Close the lid and check again in a few minutes.

Once a nice char beings to develop and the meat is pretty golden on all sides, brush with barbecue sauce. We put the sweet honey on the drumsticks and the hickory smoke on the thighs, just for variety.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenTurn the chicken over and brush the other side with the sauce and let it cook in a bit. Total cook time will be about 30 minutes or so, depending on the heat of your grill and the size of your chicken.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenThis chicken came out amazing and all of our game day guests were pleased. Everyone was raving about how good this chicken was and they were shocked to learn that it was a bottled sauce. The taste was so flavorful with a wonderful sweetness.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos Ingredients:

  • 2 barbecued chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 slices of an onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 cup Kraft Hickory Smoke Barbecue Sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • corn tortillas
  • sour cream (optional)

Directions:

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenThe day after game day, I used some of the last of the barbecued chicken to make some baked taquitos. I used the thighs and removed the meat from the bone then shredded it.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenPreheat the oven to 425 degrees and get a saute pan with a bit of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute just until fragrant, then add the shredded chicken. Pour in some more of the barbecue sauce (I used the same one that we brushed on the thigh meat when it was on the grill), just enough to cover the shredded chicken mixture and stir it up over low heat.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenWarm up a few corn tortillas in the microwave to make them pliable, then pour about a spoonful of the meat on them, and top with about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded pepper jack cheese.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenRoll the tortilla up tight and place on a baking sheet covered in foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Once all the taquitos are rolled, spray all sides of the rolled tortilla with the cooking spray and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes.

Baked Barbecue Chicken Taquitos with Kraft Barbecue Sauce #Evergriller #sponsored - Mama Harris' KitchenServe on a platter with some sour cream and shredded lettuce so your guests can help themselves.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
