Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil to coat lightly.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, enchilada sauce, sour cream, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Stir until smooth. Fold in the shredded chicken, colby jack cheese, and chopped cilantro until evenly mixed.
-
Step 3.
Working in batches, place a few tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until warm and pliable, 30 to 60 seconds. Keep covered until ready to fill.
-
Step 4.
Spoon a scant ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto each warm tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the taquitos lightly with olive oil.
-
Step 5.
Bake until golden brown and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve with pico de gallo, sour cream, and crumbled cotija cheese.
