How to Make Baked Taquitos
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and salt. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes more, until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and cooked chicken.
- If using flour tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat, spread 2-3 tablespoons of chicken mixture across the bottom third, top with cheese, and roll tightly. Place seam-down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- If using corn tortillas: Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a wide skillet. Dip each tortilla briefly (1-2 seconds) to soften. Lay tortilla flat, spread 2-3 tablespoons of chicken mixture across the bottom third, top with cheese, and roll tightly. Place seam-down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Lightly spray or brush the taquitos with oil.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite spicy salsa.
