Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2- Sauté Vegetables:

In a large non-stick pan, heat 4 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onions and bell peppers; sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.

3- Add Garlic and Chicken:

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the shredded chicken, then add all the spices (paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, salt, cumin, black pepper, chili flakes), mixing well to coat the chicken evenly.

4- Melt Cheese and Combine Ingredients:

Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
Pour in the heavy cream and mix until smooth.
Stir in the black beans and corn, mixing well to combine.

5- Add Cheese and Cilantro:

Remove the pan from heat and mix in the shredded mozzarella and Colby Jack until melted.
Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro.

6- Prepare Tortillas:

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

7- Assemble Taquitos:

Place 3-4 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and place them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Generously spray the tops with avocado cooking spray.

8- Bake and Broil Taquitos:

Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
For added color and crispiness, broil the taquitos for about 1 minute.
