Cover and heat on warm until cream cheese is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir together until creamy. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat tortillas in the microwave for 15-30 seconds or until pliable. Divide filling between tortillas and top each with some shredded cheese.

Spray tops of taquitos lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. Serve.
