Baked Cilantro/Lime Chicken Taquitos

August 22, 2013

One of my favorite meals to serve my family is these Chicken Taquitos. They have become a regular at our dinner table. I'm a cilantro/lime fanatic-the combo is sheer genius in my book-so naturally I was drawn to them. With a creamy, flavorful chicken filling and a crunchy outside (with no frying involved), these roll-ups are a must-eat. Dip them in sour cream and salsa, guacamole, ranch, hot sauce or what have you, and they're the bee's knees.

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. green salsa
1 T. fresh lime juice
1/2 t. cumin
1 t. chili powder
1/2 t. onion powder
1/4 t. garlic powder
3 T. chopped cilantro
1 green onion, sliced finely (white and green parts equal to about 2 tablespoons)
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (use pepperjack if you like a little heat)
Small yellow or white corn tortillas
cooking spray

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, cumin, chili powder, onion powder...
