Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, salsa, garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 20–30 seconds under a damp paper towel to make them pliable.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto one side of a tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla around the filling and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Lightly brush the tops of the taquitos with vegetable oil or spray them with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the taquitos to cool slightly before serving. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
