Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 small corn tortillas
Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chopped onion, cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly spray the rolled taquitos with cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
