  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 28 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a combination)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 8-10 gluten-free tortillas
– Cooking spray or additional olive oil for frying
– Optional: toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or jalapeños


Instructions

Creating these Easy Gluten Free Chicken Taquitos is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well-combined.

3. Warm the Tortillas: To prevent tearing, warm the gluten-free tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

4. Fill Tortillas: Place a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Avoid overfilling to ensure they roll easily.

5. Roll the Taquitos: Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling. Use the end to tuck and secure the filling as you roll.

6. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Ensure they do not touch to get crispy edges.

7. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray or brush them with olive oil. This will help them crisp up nicely while baking.

8. Bake: Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.

9. Cool: Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set.

10. Serve: Pair with your choice of dipping sauces like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa, and enjoy!

With these simple instructions, you’ll be able to create mouthwatering Easy Gluten Free Chicken Taquitos that are both satisfying and fun to eat!
