Ingredients

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Cooking spray or oil for brushing
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
Assemble the Taquitos: Warm the tortillas slightly so they are pliable. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto one end of each tortilla, then roll it tightly and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush with Oil: Lightly spray or brush the taquitos with cooking oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake: Bake the taquitos for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole!
