These easy 5-ingredient Cheesy Bacon BBQ Chicken Taquitos are bursting with flavor and perfect for lunch, dinner, a snack, or a party! I love the combination of smoky bacon, sharp cheddar and sweet and tart barbecue sauce with chicken, and it is especially tasty all wrapped up in a crispy corn tortilla. My husband raved about these as well, and he’s an alien who somehow “doesn’t like bacon,” so believe me when I tell you these will be a crowd-pleaser. These Cheesy Bacon BBQ Chicken Taquitos are so craveable and just 107 calories or 3 Green, 2 Blue or 2 Purple SmartPoints each!

I love using the Mission Extra Thin Yellow Corn Tortillas for these (as well as my Spicy Beef Taquitos and Buffalo Chicken Taquitos) because they taste great, are the perfect size, and are super low in calories/points. I will advise you that using corn tortillas (rather than flour tortillas) will sometimes cause the tortillas to crack/split when rolled and baked in the oven. This means that not all of your taquitos may come out looking perfect, but I know they will all come out tasting amazing! I also just want to mention that this recipe calls for cooked, shredded chicken breast, and you can cook the chicken using a wide variety of methods. I usually make a bunch in the slow cooker to use for recipes, salads, etc throughout the week, but you could also make shredded chicken in an Instant Pot, boiled in a regular pot, or just buy a rotisserie chicken, remove the skin and shred the breast meat.
