These easy baked Chicken Taquitos are stuffed with chicken and cheese and make a great appetizer or meal. These homemade taquitos are a family favorite!
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with olive oil. Place corn tortillas all over the sheet and coat the tops with olive oil as well. Bake for 30 seconds to get the tortillas warm and remove the sheet pan from the oven.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the cumin, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh lime juice. Stir until chicken is well coated with the seasonings. Stir in the shredded cheese.
Roll up a tortilla with a heaping tablespoon of the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the taquito, seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Use a toothpick if necessary to hold the taquitos together. Continue rolling taquitos until the tortillas and filling are gone. You should have about 20 taquitos.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until taquitos are golden brown and crispy, then turn over to check. Remove from the oven and serve warm with desired toppings.
