Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos



3oz of cream cheese

1/4 c green salsa

1 T lime juice

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp minced garlic

3 Tbsp chopped cilantro

2 Tbsp green onions (sliced)

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 c grated pepper jack cheese

small corn tortillas

kosher salt

cooking spray

Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Heat cream cheese in microwave for 20-30 seconds. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese. Heat tortillas in the microwave one at a time for 20-30 seconds this will make it so that you can roll them without them cracking. Place 2-3 tsp of mixture on the lower 3rd of the tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch for the edge. Roll as tight as you can and place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle kosher salt on top. Place the pan in the over and bake for 20 mins or until crisp and ends get golden brown. You can for sure use flour tortillas but I really love the taste of the corn.

We dipped these in the jalapeno yogurt you get from Costco or my kids loved dipping them in mango salsa. Super Yummy!
