Okay I'm dying... I LOVE THIS BLOG. Thank goodness Alexis actually did it :)
Okee dokee here is the taquito recipe I used the other night :)
I wish I could take credit for it... but alas it is from the blog Our Best Bites. I will list the recipe on this post but just in case you want to see it on their website here it is. :)
Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 C green salsa
1T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t granulated garlic, or garlic powder
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken (for extra yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
1 C grated pepperjack cheesesmall corn tortillas (and actually, flour ones are really good as well)
kosher salt
cooking spray
Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly
coat with cooking spray.Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about
20-30 seconds so it’s soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime
juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to
combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese
and combine well.You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.
Work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until
they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them
between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find
yours are cracking when you roll them or are coming unrolled right
away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.
Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla,
keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges. Roll up tortillas and place
seam down on a baking sheet, not touching one another. Spray lightly
with cooking spray, or lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle lightly
with kosher salt. Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or
until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Remove from oven
and let cool slightly before serving.
And there you have it.
Just a heads up... when I make it for just the two of us I always double it because I like a thicker taquito and I like to have a couple extra for lunch the next day :)
Sweet! I love Our Best Bites! They are seriously the best! Also, let's jazz up this blog. No need to look at just boring white!
