Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 package cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup salsa
  • 0.5 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, salsa, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Warm the corn tortillas slightly to make them pliable. You can do this by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds, or by warming them on a dry skillet.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly to form a taquito.
  • Place the taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of the taquitos with olive oil.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or extra salsa.

Notes

For an extra crispy taquito, you can pan-fry them in a little oil after baking.
