Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (3 oz) cream cheese (low fat is fine, avoid fat free)
  • 1/4 cup green salsa
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic, or garlic powder
  • 3 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 2 Tablespoon sliced green onions
  • 2 C shredded cooked chicken (for extra yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
  • 1 C grated pepperjack or plain jack cheese
  • small flour or corn tortillas
  • kosher salt
  • cooking spray or olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it’s soft and easy to stir.

  2. 2

    Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Prepare the taquitos through rolling them out and placing them on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until solid, then transfer to a large freezer bag. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425 and place the taquitos on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
