Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 pieces Fresh jalapenos, finely diced
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 12 pieces Flour tortillas (6-inch size)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and finely diced jalapenos. Mix until well blended.

Step 3

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 4

Take one flour tortilla and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the lower third of the tortilla. Spread it into a thin horizontal line.

Step 5

Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom to the top, forming a taquito. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all taquitos are assembled.

Step 7

Brush the taquitos lightly with vegetable oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 8

Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the taquitos from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite dips like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
