In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, salsa (if using), cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Assemble the Taquitos:
Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla.
Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the Taquitos:
Lightly spray the tops of the rolled taquitos with olive oil or cooking spray. This helps them achieve a crispy, golden exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are crispy and golden brown.
Serve:
Remove the taquitos from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces like guacamole, sour cream, or additional salsa.
