Instructions
- MAKE FILLING: (Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.) In a bowl mix softened cream cheese, salsa, and sour cream until smooth and combined. Then add and mix to combine all remaining ingredients (minus tortillas). Taste to ensure it's seasoned to your liking, and add more if desired.2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, 6 oz cream cheese (optional), 1/4 cup salsa,, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 cup Monterey jack or cheddar cheese,, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp ground garlic
- PREP TORTILLAS: If you're using corn tortillas, you'll want to heat them up on a pan over high heat to get them soft and roll-able. This is not necessary for flour tortillas. Set tortillas on a plate.1 pack corn or flour tortillas
- FILL TORTILLAS: Take a single tortilla and place some filling along the center (a bit more toward one end than the other), then roll the tortilla around the filling, as tight as you can without tearing the tortilla. Place rolled taquitos in an oven-safe dish or on a baking tray.
- BAKE TAQUITOS: Spray unbaked taquitos with cooking spray or brush them with a bit of oil. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes - you want the tops to be golden and crispy. Serve with toppings of your choice, alongside refried beans and rice :) Enjoy!guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, enchilada sauce, salsa
