Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos
These cream cheese chicken taquitos are a crispy, flavor-packed Mexican-inspired appetizer made with tender shredded chicken, rich cream cheese, and bold spices, all rolled in golden baked tortillas. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner, game day snack, or freezer-friendly meal prep recipe, these homemade chicken taquitos deliver creamy, cheesy goodness in every crunchy bite.
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded, cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups Mexican Blend shredded cheese
- 1 packet McCormick Chicken Taco Seasoning
- 1 package 12" flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and cream cheese. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add the salsa, shredded cheese, taco seasoning, and cooked chicken. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean countertop.
- Spoon a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, spreading it slightly while leaving about 1 inch around the edges. (This helps prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.)
- Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to help keep it closed.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye on the edges, as they tend to brown more quickly than the centers. If needed, loosely tent the taquitos with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
- Enjoy!
