Can I make Baked Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare and roll the taquitos, then store them covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving for the best crunch.

Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn?

Yes. Use small flour tortillas if you prefer. Warm them to make rolling easier. Baking time may be a minute or two shorter.

Dry the chicken well and avoid overfilling. Warm tortillas and brush the outside lightly with oil. Bake on a rimmed sheet and rotate for even heat.

Crispy, cheesy taquitos filled with tender shredded chicken and cream cheese, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.

Spray or brush the taquitos with cooking spray or oil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
