Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 pieces Fresh jalapenos, finely diced
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 12 pieces Flour tortillas (6-inch size)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and finely diced jalapenos. Mix until well blended.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.
Take one flour tortilla and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the lower third of the tortilla. Spread it into a thin horizontal line.
Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom to the top, forming a taquito. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all taquitos are assembled.
Brush the taquitos lightly with vegetable oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the taquitos from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dips like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
