Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos--Lindsay Weston

Recipe from http://www.ourbestbites.com

1/3 cup (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 c. green salsa
1 T. 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 cups shredded, cooked chicken
1 c. grated pepperjack cheese

small corn or flour tortillas
kosher salt
cooking spray

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

Heat cream cheese in the microwave for 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. 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, and just keep the mixture in the fridge.

Place 2-3 T. of chicken mixture on lower third of tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch away from the edges. Then roll it up as tight as you can.
Place seam side down on the baking sheet, and be sure to not let them touch each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle kosher salt on the top.

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

Dip them in sour cream, guacamole, or salsa and enjoy!
