  3. Over gas burner or in skillet, heat tortillas until warm and pliable. Wrap tortillas in kitchen towel to keep warm.
  4. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, spoon about 2 tablespoons chicken mixture onto one side of tortilla. Wrap tortilla over filling and roll up.
  5. Place taquito seam side down on cookie sheet, gently pressing flat with palm of hand if needed to make sure taquito does not roll around. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, making sure to leave a bit of space between taquitos so they crisp nicely during baking.
