A delightful twist on classic taquitos, these baked chicken and cheese roll-ups are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly oil a baking sheet.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from burning.
Add minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and sea salt to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Cooking the spices enhances their flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and shredded chicken.
Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Warm tortillas are easier to roll without cracking.
Place a portion of the chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Do not overfill to prevent the roll-ups from bursting.
Lightly brush the roll-ups with olive oil and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Brushing with oil helps achieve a crispy texture.
Serve the roll-ups hot with your favorite dips like salsa or guacamole.
Serving immediately ensures the roll-ups stay crispy.
