Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Gluten-free corn tortillas
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, shred the cooked chicken breasts. You can do this by hand or with two forks.
Add onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the chicken.
Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese until well combined, ensuring the mixture is well distributed.
Add lime juice and chopped cilantro to the chicken mixture and stir until everything is evenly mixed.
Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly to form taquitos.
Brush each taquito with a light coat of vegetable oil to help them crisp up during baking.
Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your choice of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
