Making Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos is a straightforward process! Follow these simple steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, taco seasoning, and cilantro (if using). Mix well until fully combined.
3. Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
