INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl,

mix the cream cheese, salsa, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, onion powder

and garlic. Once combined, stir in the cilantro and green onions. Add the chicken

and cheese; mix thoroughly. (If you decided to prep this in advance, refrigerate the

mixture at this point until ready to continue.) Working with a few tortillas at a time,

heat them in the microwave between two paper towels until they are soft enough to

roll (about 20 – 30 seconds). Spoon 2-3 Tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the

lower third of a tortilla. Roll the tortilla as tightly as you can. Place the rolled tortilla

seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas until the mixture

is gone. Make sure the taquitos are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly

with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until

crisp and golden.

Serve with salsa, sour cream or guacamole.

**To freeze: Before baking, flash freeze the taquitos in a single layer on a baking

sheet then place in a labeled freezer bag and store up to 3 months. To bake a frozen

taquito (no need to thaw first): Preheat oven to 425°F and bake for 20 minutes.
