Rachael Ray: Gwyneth Paltrow Taquitos Recipe

Rachael Ray: Gwyneth Paltrow’s Taquitos

Rachael Ray was pleased to welcome Gwyneth Paltrow back to her show. Since her last visit, Gwyneth published her third book “It’s All Easy.” She wanted to share a recipe from the book, her Taquitos! This dish a great kid-friendly dinner recipe, and can be made two ways. Because Gwyneth’s daughter is a vegetarian, she makes black bean taquitos for her and then chicken taquitos for her son. But she uses rotisserie chicken, which means you don’t have to cook any of the filling! This is an easy and delicious recipe you can make just in time for Cinco de Mayo!
