Baked Chicken Taquitos

from Annie's Eats
Servings 12 taquitos

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1-2 green onions chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 10-12 6- inch flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray
  • Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, salsa, lime juice, spices, cilantro, green onions, chicken and shredded cheese. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Briefly heat the tortillas in the microwave to make them soft enough to roll easily, about 20-3o seconds. Place a tortilla on a work surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture down the middle of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla up tightly around the filling. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, spacing the assembled taquitos evenly on the baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
  4. Bake 15-20 minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Serve with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
