Equipment

  • oven
  • non-stick skillet
  • baking sheet
  • Cooling Rack
  • Zip lock bag

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt See link for product
  • 16 small corn tortillas
  • cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack or parchment paper and set aside.
  • Combine the shredded chicken and spices in a large bowl and stir to combine.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook tortillas for 30 - 45 seconds on each side, until heated through. Place tortillas in a zip close back to steam and soften.
  • Place a small amount (about 2 tbsp) of meat mixture in a line on each softened tortilla and tightly roll up. Place rolled taco, seam-side down, on the cooling rack or parchment paper (leave room on all sides of the rolled taco).
  • Spritz all sides of the rolled tacos with the non-stick spray and bake for 18 minutes, then carefully flip the taquitos and continue baking an additional 5 minutes, until browned and crisp. Serve with your favorite dips like guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Air Fryer Instructions: Spritz with cooking spray and cook at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned and crisp.
