Baked Chicken Taquitos

Hey guys! It's Marlee :) I tried this recipe a couple of days ago and I LOVED it!! This recipe is so good!

Baked Chicken Taquitos
(Makes 10-12 Taquitos)

Ingredients:
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 c. green salsa
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, which is about half a lrg. lime (this is key!! FRESH! it's way better!)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 c. shredded cheese
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- Small yellow/white corn tortillas (I would recommend really fresh, moist ones... the ones I used cracked a lot!)
- cooking spray

*Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and coat with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir to combine and then add cilantro. Add chicken and cheese.

Working with a few tortillas at a time, place 2-3 torillas between damp paper towels and microwave for about 30 seconds or until tortillas are soft enough that the wont crack. Place 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture on lower third of soft tortilla. keeping it 1/2" from the edges, the roll tightly. Place them seam down on baking sheet (be quick or tortillas will crack on the baking sheet). Spray with cooking spray and coat lightly with salt.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp. Serve imediatly with dips of your choice (we just used sour cream and some of the left over green salsa! it was so good!)

So there ya go! :) If you try it I hope you like it! :)

From,
Mars
