Slightly coat with Olive Oil and bake until brown and cooked inside at 425 degrees about 15- 20 minutes. Use a spatula to take them out and place them on a serving dish. After baking, if any of the chili-mixture slides out, use a spoon to push back into the taquito. Additionally, you can always add a little rice into the mixture.
