Servings 12 taquitos

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup room temperature cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese - jack or a jack/cheddar blend work well
  • 1/2 cup runny salsa You don't want to use a chunky salsa for this
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 10-12 smaller tortillas I use corn for these
  • salt & pepper
  • Guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for dipping.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, and shredded cheese. Stir in the salsa and seasoning.
  • Take your tortillas and get them pliable. My tip to get tortillas pliable is - Microwave for about 15 seconds batches of 3-4 then immediately plop them into a plastic bag. The steam will keep them soft.
  • Take one tortilla out at a time. Spoon a heaping spoonful onto one side. Roll as getnly yet tight as you can, then lay seam side down on a wire rack. Should make about 10-12 taquitos. Don't fill them too much
  • Spray or gently brush the topside of each taquito with a little olive oil. Bake 10 minutes, remove and flip each taquito, rub with a little more oil, then place back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
  • Serve with fresh guacamole, salsa, sour cream, or whatever you like!
