- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, spreading it out in a line along the center.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
