Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded Mexican-blend or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 small flour or corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sour cream, for serving
- Salsa or guacamole, for serving
Instructions
1. Make the Chicken Filling In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, cream cheese, salsa, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
2. Warm the Tortillas Warm the tortillas in the microwave under a damp paper towel for about 20–30 seconds to make them soft and easy to roll.
3. Fill the Tortillas Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in a line near one edge of each tortilla. Avoid overfilling so the taquitos roll tightly.
4. Roll the Taquitos Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling and place them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Bake Until Crispy Brush or lightly spray the taquitos with vegetable oil. Bake at 425°F for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve and Enjoy
