Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos – Easy Baked Taquitos Recipe with Creamy Chicken Filling


  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles

  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup canned corn, drained

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 12 corn tortillas

  • Olive oil spray or 2 tablespoons olive oil


Instructions

 

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced green chiles, black beans, corn, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. Warm Tortillas: To make the tortillas pliable and prevent cracking, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until warm.

  4. Assemble Taquitos: Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla. Roll tightly from the bottom up to form a cigar shape. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. Apply Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with olive oil spray or brush with olive oil. This helps them crisp up in the oven.

  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.

  7. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
