For an extra crispy taquito, lightly brush the rolled tortillas with olive oil or cooking spray before baking. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce and red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. Feel free to add other ingredients to the filling, such as black beans, corn, or diced bell peppers. These taquitos can also be deep-fried for a more indulgent treat. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with seasoned black beans or crumbled tofu.

StepIn a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the pepper Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of hot pepper sauce, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed. (10 minutes)
