| 1. Put the chicken breasts in a 4-quart pan, add salt and water, and loosely cover. Bring to the boil then simmer gently for an hour. | 2. Drain, saving the broth. Set the chicken aside to cool then chop into small pieces. | 3. Add the oil to the same pot and sauté the bell peppers and onion until tender. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until warmed through. | 4. Blend the tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic, and oregano in a blender and add this mixture to the pan, as well as 2 cups of the broth. Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt to taste. | 5. Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the tortillas one at a time until they are soft. This takes about 5 seconds per tortilla. Drain well. Strain the liquid from the chicken and put a tablespoon of chicken in the middle of each tortilla. | 6. Roll the tortilla around the chicken to make a flute shape. Use toothpicks to hold the shape. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and fry them in batches for a couple of minutes or until they hold their shape without the toothpicks. | 7. Remove the toothpicks and serve three taquitos on each plate with guacamole for dipping. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
