Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 small flour tortillas
Cooking spray or olive oil, for brushing
Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped tomatoes, salsa, cilantro

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and spices (garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, pepper). Mix until well blended.

Step 3: Assemble the Taquitos

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla.
Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

Lightly brush the tops of the taquitos with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
