Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. ⏱️ 5 minutes

In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the sweet and tangy marinade. ⏱️ 5 minutes

Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave or a skillet to make them easier to roll. ⏱️ 2 minutes

Add a small amount of the honey lime chicken mixture and shredded cheese to each tortilla. Roll tightly into taquitos and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. ⏱️ 10 minutes

Brush the taquitos lightly with olive oil to help them become crispy and golden while baking. ⏱️ 2 minutes

Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the taquitos are crispy and lightly browned. ⏱️ 20 minutes

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. 🌿✨ ⏱️ 3 minutes
