(Quick & Easy) Oven Baked Chicken Taquitos
Crunchy on the outside, cheesy-tender chicken goodness on the inside, and very simple to make!
Ingredients
Servings: 4
- 1 1/2 lb. Chicken, cooked, shredded (see above for oven baked chicken recipe)
- 8 Tortillas
- 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 tsp. Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp. Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
- Cilantro, for serving
- Salsa, for serving
- Lime Wedges, for serving
- Grilled Corn (optional)
- Guacamole & Chips (optional)
- Shredded Lettuce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Lightly grease with olive oil a baking tray or line with parchment paper.
- Heat up the tortillas on a griddle until soft.
- In a large bowl, toss together the cooked and shredded chicken, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ground cumins, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Add a generous amount of the shredded chicken and shredded Mexican cheese into the center of each tortillas. Wrap up like a burrito and place seam-side down in the prepared baking pan. If possible, space the tortillas out so there is 1/2" in-between each (to make them crispy all around).
- Brush with the remaining olive oil.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with guacamole and salsa on a bed on lettuce. Enjoy warm!
