Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded chicken, beef, or pork
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 4 ounces Diced green chiles (canned)
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 units Corn or flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable (about 20-30 seconds).
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in a line along the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly from one side to the other to form a tube-like shape.
Place the rolled tacos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Lightly brush the tops of the rolled tacos with vegetable oil or spray them evenly with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tacos are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye to ensure they do not over-brown.
Allow the tacos to cool for 2-3 minutes, then serve them with your favorite toppings like guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or a side of rice and beans.
