These are way better than the store bought version and don't take much longer to whip up. The kids (and hubby) love them and are easy enough to make that they can help along. In fact my little baker wrapped these ones up for me tonight ;)
Creamy Chicken Taquitos
1/3 c. cream cheese (I use 1/2c. because that's usually what I have laying around)
1/4 c. green salsa (once again red is what I have so that is what I use)
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (or bottled ;) )
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
3 Tbsp. cilantro (we aren't cilantro people so I omit and add more green onions)
2 Tbsp. sliced green onions
2 c. cooked and shredded chicken
1 c. grated pepperjack cheese (or cheddar ;) )
12 small corn or flour tortillas
cooking spray
kosher salt
Preheat oven to 425, and line a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray (I use my silicone liners and they work great). Heat cream cheese so it is soft, and add salsa and spices, mix well. Then stir in cilantro, onions, chicken and cheese. Place about 3 Tbsp. on bottom 1/3 of each wrap, roll up tightly and place seam side down on baking sheet. Spray tops with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until crisp and edges start to brown.
Can serve with sour cream, salsa or guacamole, but we think they are awesome just the way they are, enjoy!
