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.
