Green Chile Chicken Taquitos

adapted from pennies on a platter

Ingredients:

4oz cream cheese

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 Tbsp. chives

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup green chile, chopped

1/4 cup salsa

1 cup shredded cheese

2 1/2 cups chicken, cooked and diced

cooking spray

salsa or guacamole for serving

Method:

Preheat your oven to 425˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, cumin, onion powder, chives, garlic, green chile and salsa. Add the cheese and chicken mixing thoroughly.

Working with a few tortillas at a time, heat them in the microwave between two damp paper towels until they are soft enough to roll (approx. 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.

Bake for 20 minutes or until crisp and golden.

Serve with salsa or guacamole.
