DIRECTIONS:
1: In a large deep skillet add tomato sauce, water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine.

3. Shred chicken into small pieces using two forks. Stir in cilantro.
4. Warm corn tortillas (in batches) in the microwave for 15 seconds.
5. Spoon a portion of the chicken filling down the center of each tortilla; add a little bit of shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture. Roll up and secure with a toothpick if needed.
6. Place taquitos on lightly greased pan. Brush a little olive oil on each taquito.
7. Bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes.

*These were so yummy! My daughters love any form of a taco so for this dinner my oldest exclaimed, "You are the best dinner mom ever!" Wow!! Anyway, these were really good- we served them with Mexican rice, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
