Baked Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos

Print Recipe

Crispy baked taquitos filled with a creamy mixture of shredded chicken, cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and salsa verde, seasoned with garlic and cumin.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded chicken
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey-Jack cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
  • 1/4 cup salsa verde
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and spray well if using foil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Monterey-Jack cheese, minced garlic, salsa verde, and ground cumin until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Bake for 15-17 minutes, then broil for the last 1-2 minutes to crisp up the taquitos.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

These taquitos can be frozen before baking and cooked later for convenience. Using corn tortillas is an option but they can be harder to roll. Serve with guacamole or salsa for best flavor.
