Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that crispy exterior we all crave.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling - In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, fat-free cheese, taco seasoning, salt, and salsa. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 3: Soften the Tortillas - To make the corn tortillas pliable, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. This will prevent them from cracking when you roll them.
Step 4: Fill the Tortillas - Spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Brush with Oil - Lightly brush or spray the tops of the taquitos with oil. This helps them get golden and crispy in the oven.
Step 6: Bake - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy - Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve these Skinny Chicken Taquitos with extra salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy every crunchy bite!
