chicken taquitos

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup green salsa
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 3/4 Tablespoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix softened cream cheese, green salsa, lime juice, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on the lower third of a soft tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges. Then roll it up as tight as you can. (A few of mine wanted to rebel and come unrolled so I stuck a toothpick through them to keep them right and tight.)
Place filled taquitos seam side down on the baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch each other. When ready to bake, spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and lightly sprinkle some kosher (coarse) salt on top.
Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Serve immediately.
