Creating crispy Chicken Taquitos is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
3. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, sautéed onion and garlic, shredded cheese, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Prepare Tortillas: If using corn tortillas, heat them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable. Flour tortillas can be used without heating.
5. Fill Tortillas: Place 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
6. Secure Taquitos: Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or brush with olive oil for added crispiness.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from Oven: Carefully take the baking sheet out of the oven and allow the taquitos to cool for a few minutes.
9. Serve: Serve hot with your favorite dips and toppings.
