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 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
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, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 20 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.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
