Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos 🌯🧀

Crispy, creamy, and totally crave-worthy — snack or dinner win!

📝 Ingredients:

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup salsa (your fave!)

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cumin

Salt & pepper to taste

8 small flour or corn tortillas

Olive oil (for brushing)

Toppings: sour cream, crumbled queso fresco, diced tomato, chopped cilantro

🍽️ How to Make It :

1️⃣ Make the Filling:

In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, cheddar, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. This ultra-creamy filling is the flavor-packed core of these taquito legends.

2️⃣ Roll It Up:

Warm tortillas to make them pliable. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. This is where your weeknight dinner MVP comes together.

3️⃣ Bake to Crispy Goodness:

Brush taquitos lightly with olive oil. Bake at 425°F for 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy. No frying needed for that next-level crunch.

4️⃣ Top & Serve:

Load them up with sour cream, queso fresco, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Every bite hits with melty, creamy, and crispy vibes.

5️⃣ Optional Dip Alert:

Serve with guac, salsa, or spicy ranch on the side for that extra dipping drama — you know you want it.
