Chicken Taquitos

Chicken Taquitos

These are so yummy. Even better the next day!

8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup green salsa
1 TBS. lime juice
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. granulated garlic ( I used garlic powder)
3 TBS. chopped cilantro
2 TBS. sliced green onions, optional

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese

small flour tortillas
kosher salt (I used sea salt)
cooking spray

Heat oven to 425*. Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Heat cream cheese in 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 garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.

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

Roll up as tight as you can.

Place seam down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the Cookie sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle salt on top.

Bake 15-20 min or until the ends start to get golden brown.

Serve plain or dip in sour cream or guacamole.
