  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s a list of everything you’ll need to create these scrumptious taquitos. Feel free to make substitutions as needed—cooking is all about adapting and making it your own!

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 810 small flour tortillas
  • Vegetable oil for brushing

Instructions

Now comes the fun part—putting it all together. These steps are designed to be easy to follow, even on the busiest of days. Here’s how you can make these delicious taquitos:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well-incorporated.
  3. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, spreading it out in a line across the center.
  4. Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush the tops of the taquitos lightly with vegetable oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Personal tip: If you’re making these with kids, let them help roll the taquitos. It’s a fun way to involve them in the kitchen and create lasting memories.
