  • 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (3 oz)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 24 corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (from 6-oz container)

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

    3
    Over gas burner or in skillet, heat tortillas until warm and pliable. Wrap tortillas in kitchen towel to keep warm.

    Working with 1 tortilla at a time, spoon about 2 tablespoons chicken mixture onto one side of tortilla. Wrap tortilla over filling and roll up. Place taquito seam side down on cookie sheet, gently pressing flat with palm of hand if needed to make sure taquito does not roll around. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, making sure to leave a bit of space between taquitos so they crisp nicely during baking. Brush tops of taquitos lightly with oil.
