Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

I found this recipe while reading my blog list a couple days ago. 

It sounded so yummy, and seeing as how I had all the ingredients on hand, it was a must try! 

Thanks to the Six Sisters' Stuff for sharing yet another amazing recipe. My alterations are in orange.

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients:

1/2 c (4oz) cream cheese

1/3 c green salsa

1 tbsp lime juice *I only had lemon juice on hand

1/2 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried cilantro

2 tbsp sliced green onions *No green onions, but found the recipe delicious without them!

2 c shredded cooked chicken

1 c grated pepperjack cheese *I used Monterey Jack cheese, Aaron isn't big on too spicy things

About 20 (6 in) flour tortillas *Only had 10 inch tortillas on hand (I keep them frozen), made 9 taquitos

salt

cooking spray

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. Heat cream cheese in the microwave for 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice*, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
3. Add cilantro and green onions*. Add chicken and Pepperjack cheese* and combine well.
4. Place 2-3 tbsp (because I used larger tortillas I added more than this) of chicken mixture on lower third of tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges and roll it up as tight as you can. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
5. Lay filled taquitos on the baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle some salt on top.
6. Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the edges turn golden brown.
7. Dip in your choice of goodness: "salsa ranch" (equal parts of ranch dressing and salsa),  Cilantro Ranch Dressing, guacamole, sour cream or salsa! We dipped ours in Salsa Ranch - not sure why I haven't thought of that before. It was amazing. Perfect flavors and very filling. Leftovers aren't too bad either! (I used the oven)
