  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, salsa, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  5. Place taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Lightly brush with oil or spray with cooking spray.
