Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 roasted poblano peppers, chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 jar (6 ounce) salsa verde
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 16–20 corn tortillas, warmed
- Olive oil, for rubbing
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels
- Avocado, for serving
- Limes, for serving
- Yogurt, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together shredded chicken, cream cheese, chopped poblano peppers, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, salsa verde, cilantro, Mexican cheese blend, and corn kernels.
- Warm the corn tortillas to make them pliable. Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly.
- Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared sheet pan. Lightly rub the tops with olive oil.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
- Serve hot with avocado slices, lime wedges, and a dollop of yogurt.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the taquitos for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
- Roast the poblanos ahead of time for a deeper, smoky flavor.
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge; reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
