Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 pieces corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup avocado oil (or any high-heat oil)
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole lime, cut into wedges
• 1 cup salsa, for serving

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and let it heat up.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it cool slightly before shredding it with two forks.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable.

Step 7

Place a few tablespoons of shredded chicken onto each tortilla and top with some chopped green onions and cilantro.

Step 8

Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush the taquitos lightly with avocado oil, then bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Serve the taquitos hot, garnished with lime wedges and accompanied by salsa for dipping.
