Baked Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/3 cup sour cream

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

• 1/3 cup salsa (or chopped green chiles for a kick)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 10–12 small flour or corn tortillas

• Cooking spray or oil, for brushing

Optional Add-ins:

• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

• 1–2 chopped green onions

• 1/4 tsp chili powder or smoked paprika

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheeses, salsa, and spices until smooth.

3. Fold in the shredded chicken (and optional ingredients if using) until everything is well combined.

4. Warm the tortillas slightly (microwave for ~30 seconds covered with a damp paper towel) to make them pliable.

5. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla and roll tightly into a taquito.

6. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the tops with oil.

7. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. For extra crispiness, broil the last 1–2 minutes.

Serving Ideas:

Serve with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or a creamy jalapeño ranch.
