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
12 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, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on one end of each tortilla and roll tightly to form a taquito.
Place the rolled taquitos seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
