For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the chicken filling. If you prefer a spicier taquito, leave the seeds in one of the jalapenos. Feel free to substitute Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend for the Cheddar cheese. To make ahead, assemble the taquitos and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time. Serve with your favorite salsa or pico de gallo for an extra burst of flavor.
