Step-by-Step Instructions
To start making these delightful taquitos, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). I love to get the oven nice and hot beforehand, so the taquitos bake evenly and become crispy. Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix it all together until you have a creamy, cohesive filling. The smell at this point is already so tempting! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
