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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable (about 20-30 seconds).
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place the rolled tacos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
