By Storie

Ingredients

• (15 oz.) can refried beans or (12.5 oz) can of cooked chicken breast
• 1 small can of mild green chili’s
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. onion powder or 1/2 finely diced onion
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt or 1 finely minced clove of garlic
• 1 package of small flour tortilla’s (warmed slightly in the microwave to prevent cracking)
• non-stick baking spray (olive oil or butter flavored preferred)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine refried beans (or chicken), cheese, lime juice, cumin, onion powder and garlic salt. Stir together until well combined. Spoon 2-4 Tablespoons of mixture into the center of a tortilla. Wrap tortilla tightly around mixture, then set taquito in a cookie sheet or large baking dish which has been generously sprayed with cooking spray. Continue wrapping remaining taquitos. Once finished, spray a fairly heavy layer of cooking spray over each tortilla, making sure to spray all areas of each tortilla. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the tortillas are crisp and browned. Serve with sour cream, tomatoes, chopped cilantro and salsa.
