Baked Creamy Taquitos

From Our Best Bites

6 oz Cream cheese
1/2c salsa
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic, or garlic powder
3 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
2 Tablespoon sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked leftover chicken (can use shredded pork or beef)
can add a can of black beans
Corn or flour tortillas

I like to cook chicken with seasonings (season salt and Mrs Dash) on broil in oven or on BBQer, makes it tender.

Mix everything, then chop or shred chicken and add to everything.

Roll up mixture into tortillas.

Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Roll up tortillas and place seam down on a baking sheet, not touching one another.  Spray lightly with cooking spray, or lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake 15-20 min

I have cooked the rolled up tortillas on the stove top b/c I didn't want to use the oven, pour in a little oil to saute.

I like to freeze them after they are cooked. But, you Can freeze b4 you cook them.

Serves well with Lime cilantro dressing

Can use leftover rice and put in tortilla or on the side as a Spanish rice
