Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Assembly
- 10 small flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the taquitos crispy and golden.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble Taquitos: Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly onto each flour tortilla. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling, ensuring the seam side is down to prevent unrolling during baking.
- Arrange and Oil: Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil to promote browning and crispness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful meal or snack.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick and convenient prep.
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray taquitos with cooking spray before baking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
