Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Prepare Tortillas: Warm tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.
Assemble Taquitos: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Fry Taquitos: Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Fry taquitos in batches, turning until all sides are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Drain: Remove taquitos from the oil and drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
Serve: Garnish with your choice of toppings and serve with dipping sauces.
