Preparation

- If tortillas are stiff, warm them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Grab a tortilla and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll tightly, enclosing the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Baking
- Place the rolled taquitos seam side down on a greased baking sheet, ensuring there's space between each.
- Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.

Serving

Notes
