Instructions
Preparing Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these simple steps to create this delicious dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
3. Warm Tortillas: To make them pliable, warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This prevents them from tearing when rolling.
4. Fill Tortillas: Take a tortilla and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of the tortilla.
5. Roll Tightly: Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to keep the filling secure. Place the rolled taquito seam-side down on the baking sheet.
6. Repeat: Continue this process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
7. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the taquitos with olive oil spray for a crispy finish.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crisp.
9. Cool: Allow the taquitos to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Following these steps will yield crispy, delicious Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos that everyone will love!
