Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Coming from a home where I basically cook 2 dinners every single night; one for me and Chris (and sometimes Cord) and one for the younger boys, if I find a meal that Cord loves I definitely put in my recipe file to cook again!!!  These come from my fabulous cook book I bought from OUR BEST BITES.  And they are very yummy!  The filling has soooo much flavor in them!  Enjoy!



1/3 Cup (3 ounces) Cream cheese
1/4 Cup green salsa
1 tblsp fresh lime
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp granulated garlic
3 tblsp chopped cilantro
2 tbsp chopped green onions
2 Cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 Cup shredded pepper jack cheese
6- inch corn tortillas (fresh)
2 tblsp  olive oil
Nonstick cooking spray
sea salt
Heat oven to 425*.    Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.  Heat cream cheese so it's soft & easy to stir.  Add green salsa, lime, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, & garlic.  Stir to combine and then add cilantro, green onions, chicken, and cheese.
Wrap 3-4 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 sec until they are soft and pliable.  Place 2-3 tblsp of the chicken mixture on the tortilla leaving about 1/2 inch from edges and roll it placing seam side down on the baking sheet.  Spray the tops of the tortillas lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt.
Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 min or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.  Serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa or pico!  Yummy!!!
