How To Make creamy chicken taquitos
-
Step 1Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
-
Step 2Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder and mix well. Add cilantro, green onions, chicken and cheese and combine well.
-
Step 3Place 3 Tablespoons of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges. Then roll it up as tight as you can. 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 or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top.
-
Step 4Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.
-
Step 5Serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole.
