Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos



From ourbestbites.com

1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 C green salsa
1T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t granulated garlic, or garlic powder
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken (for extra
yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
1 C grated pepperjack cheese

small corn tortillas (and actually, flour ones are
really good as well)
kosher salt
cooking spray

Directions:
Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and
lightly coat with cooking spray.

Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-
30 seconds so it’s soft and easy to stir. Add green
salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder
and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add
cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese
and combine well.

You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just
keep the mixture in the fridge.

Work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the
microwave until they are soft enough to roll without
cracking. It helps to place them between damp
paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If
you find yours are cracking when you roll them or
are coming unrolled right away, just try heating
them longer and try the paper towel thing.

Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of
a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.

Then roll it up as tight as you can.

Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all
of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure
they are not touching each other. Spray the tops
lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and
sprinkle some kosher salt on top.

Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or
until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.
