In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, onion, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.

Tightly roll the tortilla around the filling and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat for frying.

Carefully place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove taquitos and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Serve hot with your choice of dips like sour cream or salsa.
