Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 6 tablespoons sour cream
• 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
• ½ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
• ½ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
• 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Combine shredded chicken, 1/2 of the pepper Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl; mix well.

Step 3

Place equal amounts of filling onto each tortilla, roll tightly to close, and place seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn taquitos over, sprinkle with remaining pepper Jack cheese, and bake until cheese is melted and taquitos are crispy, about 5 more minutes.

Step 5

While taquitos are baking, mix sour cream and hot pepper sauce together in a small bowl for dipping sauce. Serve with taquitos.
