Oven Chicken Taquitos

taquito
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups shredded roasted chicken
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (or cheddar)
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • cooking spray
  • guacamole and  sour cream or salsa
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
2. Combine the chicken in a bowl with the cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder and garlic powder- mix together.
3. Place 2 corn tortillas at a time in between two damp paper towels and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to soften them (helps to prevent cracking when rolling).
4. With 1 tortilla in front of you, place about 3 tbsp of the chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla and some of the cheese and roll it up tightly. Place the taquito seam-side-down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and filling.
5. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray, dust with chili powder, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until crisp. Serve with guacamole/sour cream/ salsa, as desired.
