Making Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos is straightforward and fun! Follow these easy steps to create this amazing dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

3. Assemble the Taquitos: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling on the edge of each tortilla, then roll them tightly.

4. Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the rolled taquitos seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until all tortillas are filled and rolled.

5. Brush with Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking oil or brush with olive oil for an extra crispy texture.

6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crisp.

7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the taquitos from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a batch of Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos ready to be devoured!
