Step-by-Step Instructions
- 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.
