How To Make Baked Creamy Cheesy Chicken Flautas

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and the blend of spices (think cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder). This will be our heavenly filling.
3. Grab your tortillas, and spoon a hefty amount of the filling onto each. Roll ’em up tightly, and place them seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in your preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes. Once golden-brown and crispy, remove ’em from the oven.
5. Let it cool for a minute (if you can resist) and garnish with toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
