Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded pepper jack cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 4 ounces Green chilies, diced (optional)
• 12 pieces Corn or flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and green chilies (if using). Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable and easier to roll.

Step 4

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of a tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla around the filling, securing the seam side down.

Step 5

Place the rolled taquitos on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.

Step 6

Lightly brush the tops of the taquitos with vegetable oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

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

Step 9

For OAMC (Once A Month Cooking): After rolling the taquitos, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen taquitos to a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to eat, bake directly from frozen at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
