Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin making my chicken taquitos, I first gather all my ingredients and equipment, which always makes the cooking process feel smoother. I combine the shredded chicken, cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. It’s so satisfying to blend those flavors together, and I always take a moment to taste the mixture before closing it up in the tortillas. You’re looking for a creamy, seasoned filling that’s bursting with flavor! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
