Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Make the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickled jalapenos, diced green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Assemble the Taquitos:
- Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of each flour tortilla, spreading it out into a line. Roll up the tortillas tightly around the filling, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart to allow for even crisping.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray to help them brown and crisp up in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy, with the cheese filling melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the Jalapeno Popper Chicken Taquitos from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Serve the taquitos warm, garnished with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy these deliciously spicy taquitos as a snack, appetizer, or even a fun dinner option that’s sure to impress!
