Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and salsa. Add garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly until smooth.

Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds until pliable to prevent cracking.

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto one edge of each warm tortilla and roll tightly, placing them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Lightly brush or spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking oil for a crispy exterior.

Bake the taquitos for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Optionally, switch on the broiler for an extra 1-2 minutes for additional crunch.

Remove from oven, let cool for a minute, and serve warm with toppings like sour cream or guacamole.
