Description

Crispy taquitos filled with a creamy mixture of shredded chicken, cheese, and taco seasoning, perfect for family dinners or snacks.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded chicken (cooked and seasoned)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1-2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 10 small tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and taco seasoning. Stir until well-mixed and creamy.
  3. Take a tortilla and place a small portion of the filling on one side. Roll it tightly and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  4. Brush each taquito with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
