sour cream

🥗Healthier: plain yogurt

💰Cheaper: creme fraiche

Creme fraiche is similar in texture and flavor.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, black beans, green onions, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Mix until well combined.

Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

Spoon a portion of the 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.

Brush the tops of the taquitos with olive oil to help them crisp up.

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

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve with sour cream, fresh cilantro, and lime juice on the side.
