Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cup cooked chicken, shredded

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 small flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, blend together the cooked, shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well-combined and the mixture is creamy.
- To make the tortillas pliable, microwave them for 20 seconds.
- Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto the center. Roll it up tightly, ensuring the filling is secure inside. Repeat this process until all tortillas are filled.
- Arrange the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray to promote browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, garnish your taquitos with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve them warm and enjoy!
