Ingredients:

• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

2. Prepare Filling:
   • In a bowl, combine the shredded cheese with ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Assemble Taquitos:
   • Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto one end of the tortilla. Roll it tightly into a taquito shape.
