Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a light drizzle of oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, salsa, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Warm flour or corn tortillas in the microwave by placing them in a damp paper towel for about 20 seconds to soften.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto one edge of a tortilla, then roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Place rolled taquitos seam-side down on the baking sheet, leaving space between each for even crisping.
- Lightly brush or spray the tops of the taquitos with oil for a golden finish.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy, optionally broiling for the last minute for extra crunch.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a minute, and serve warm with toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
