Chicken Taquitos

Our Best Bites
Makes 12 taquitos

Ingredients
1/3 cup (3 oz) cream cheese (low fat is fine, avoid fat free)
1/4 cup green 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 chicken (for extra yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
1 C grated pepperjack or plain jack cheese
small flour or corn tortillas
kosher salt
cooking spray or olive oil

Mix the filling- cream cheese, salsa, cumin, chili powder, garlic.  Put everything on the tortillas.  You can either bake them or freeze them.
 They’re great in the fridge for a few days and you can bake them up as needed.  Or you can freeze them and bake them straight from the freezer.  It’s totally worth it to make a double batch so you can pop one in the freezer!

Oven 425, spray or use aluminum foil on a large cookie pan to cook the taquitos.   20-25min
Goes well with Creamy Tomatillo Dressing and Spanish rice and Cilantro Lime Dressing
