A quick and easy recipe for crispy baked taquitos with a savory chicken and cheese filling, perfect for snacks or parties. Baked to golden perfection for a crunchy, flavorful bite without the grease of frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie preferred)
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 oz (115g) canned green chilies, drained and chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray or a light drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, chopped green chilies, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  3. Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for about 20 seconds or on a dry skillet for 10 seconds each side to make them pliable.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the edge of each tortilla. Roll tightly, folding in the sides to keep the filling inside. Place each rolled taquito seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
  5. Spray or brush the taquitos lightly with cooking spray or olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden brown. Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Roll taquitos tightly and place seam-side down to prevent filling from spilling. Warm tortillas before rolling to avoid cracking. Spray lightly with oil for crispiness. Flip halfway through baking for even browning. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Reheat in oven to maintain crunch; avoid microwaving.
