Deliciously crispy taquitos filled with shredded chicken and cheese, perfect for snacks or meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 10–12 small flour tortillas
- Cooking spray or vegetable oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa. Mix until well combined.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the chicken mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture along one edge. Roll the tortilla tightly from the filled edge to the other to form a taquito.
- Place the taquito 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
