Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
  3. Warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-45 seconds until pliable.
  4. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the spicy chicken mixture into the center of each warm tortilla.
  5. Roll each tortilla up tightly to enclose the filling.
  6. Arrange the rolled taquitos seam-side down in a baking dish.
  7. Brush the tops of the taquitos with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. For extra crispiness, you can flip them halfway through baking.

Notes

  • Serve with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or shredded lettuce.
  • If you prefer fried taquitos, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the taquitos until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the spice level.
