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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 20–30 seconds under a damp paper towel to make them pliable.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 6

Lightly brush the tops of the taquitos with vegetable oil or spray them with cooking spray for extra crispiness.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Allow the taquitos to cool slightly before serving. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
