Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Spray a boneless skinless chicken breast with cooking spray and season with a mixture of cumin and chili powder.

Bake the chicken breast in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the oven and shred it using two forks while it's still warm.

Prepare corn tortillas by warming them in a skillet until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

Spoon a portion of the shredded chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly to form taquitos.

Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the taquitos in the oven until golden and crispy.
