Baked Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– 1 tsp cumin (optional)
– ½ tsp salt
– ¼ tsp black pepper
– 8-10 small flour tortillas
– Olive oil cooking spray
– Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
– Salsa or sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

Making Baked Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos is a straightforward process. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make them pliable. This will prevent them from cracking while you roll them.
4. Fill the Tortillas: Take one tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the edges as you go. Place the seam-side down on the baking sheet.
5. Repeat: Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with olive oil cooking spray. This will help them become crispy while baking.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley for added flavor and color.

Now, your tasty Baked Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos are ready to be enjoyed!
