Method
 

How to Make Crispy Baked Chicken Taquitos
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt. Stir until the chicken is well coated and all spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
  3. Warm each corn tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
  4. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
  5. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Spray the tops with cooking spray and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a moment before serving.
