Pat's Notes:

This is a recipe take -off of Goldie Barnhart.. I wanted to make her recipe for dinner guest , but did not have all the ingredients needed in the recipe so I added a few different ones and kept some the same..it turned out delicious and the guest asked for the recipe- I also gave her Goldie's original recipe.. Thanks so much for your inspiration Goldie..hugs.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350^. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil. Set aside.
Dice up onion and bell pepper, place together in a small bowl.
Using partially frozen tenderloins, dice into small pieces and place in a large saucepan with 1 Tablespoon of cooking oil. Continue dicing and placing in pan until all the chicken is diced up and in the pan. Stir in the black pepper and the 3/4 of the package of taco seasoning.

Add 1/2 the pepper/onion mixture,cream cheese and 1 cup of the salsa.
Stir until the cream cheese melts.
In another small saucepan pour the milk and add the shredded cheese stirring until all blended and smooth.

Scoop about 1/3 of a cup of the meat mixture down the center of each tortilla; roll up and place seam side down in prepared pan;Spoon the melted cheese sauce evenly over the tortilla rolls in the pan and sprinkle remaining bell pepper/onion mixture over cheese then the remaining salsa. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes- remove foil and sprinkle remaining taco seasoning over all and bake for 20 minutes more . Serve with sour cream,if desired.
