Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Sour cream, guacamole, and extra salsa for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Shred 2 cups cooked chicken into short, even strands.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, salsa, shredded cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt until smooth, then fold in the chicken.
  3. Warm the tortillas, spoon 2 tbsp filling onto each, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Brush the taquitos with the oil, bake at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes until golden, then serve hot with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.

Notes

Leftover taquitos re-crisp beautifully in the oven or air fryer, but the microwave makes them chewy. If you want to prep them ahead, assemble on the tray and refrigerate up to 8 hours, then bake as directed.
