creamy chicken taquitos.

these were a hit with the husband!! but alas i forgot to take a pic, so this one is not mine.

1/3 cup (3 oz.) cream cheese
1/4 cup green salsa
1 Tb fresh lime juice
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp granulated garlic (i used garlic powder, is there a difference??)
3 Tb chopped cilantro
2 Tb sliced green onions

2 cups shredded chicken
1 cup grated pepperjack cheese (i used cheddarjack cheese)

fajita size flour tortillas (or small corn tortillas)
cooking spray
kosher salt

Soften cream cheese in microwave for 20-30 seconds. Stir in green salsa, lime juice and spices until well mixed then add cilantro and green onions. Stir in shredded chicken and pepperjack cheese and combine well. **this can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line cookie sheet with tin foil, lightly sprayed with cooking oil.

Spoon 2-3 Tb of mixture in a row across the bottom third of tortilla, keeping 1/2 inch away from edge. This makes it possible to roll it up very tightly. Place taquitos seam side down on cookie sheet, making sure they are not touching. Lightly spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and edges start to turn golden brown.

Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

We didn't have guacamole on hand so I just mashed up an avocado and mixed it with some salsa and salt & pepper. Kimball went crazy over it!
