Quick Baked Chicken Taquitos

Quick Baked Chicken Taquitos pack crisp corn tortillas around tender canned chicken, melted cheddar, and a hint of hot sauce for gentle heat. The contrast of crunchy shells and cheesy, savory filling makes them great for game day, casual dinners, or a shareable snack. Serve with your favorite salsa or a cool crema for dipping.

Quick Baked Chicken Taquitos
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Mix the chicken and cheese in a bowl; stir in hot pepper sauce to taste.

  3. 3

    Heat the tortillas one at a time in a skillet over medium heat until flexible, about 10 seconds per side.

  4. 4

    Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture over half of a warmed tortilla. Starting from the filled edge, roll it tightly to make a taquito. Place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden, crisp, and to your preference, about 20 to 30 minutes.
