How To Make Baked Chicken Fajita Taquitos

2. Saut�� your veggies with the remaining olive oil until they are soft but still a bit crunchy. Add the fajita seasoning and continue to saut�� for another minute or two.
3. Toss your chicken and veggies in a large mixing bowl with the cheese, then fill each tortilla and roll into a small tube.
4. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking tray covered in foil and lightly brush them with olive oil.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375��F, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.
