These are really tastey and quick. I decided to go easy and just serve these with corn on the side and then refried beans and sour cream for dipping. Delish! And, again, the pepper jack cheese really didn't make these spicy at all.
On another note - we also found out while making these that Ava likes green onions! She grabbed a piece of green onion from the cutting board and I waited to see the funny look on her face when she tried it, but the funny look never came. She just went back for more! I think should would have eaten the entire thing if I would've let her, and she even grabbed the really oniony-tasting white end and was chewing on it. Who knew??
Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
1/3 cup (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 cup green salsa
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1-2 sliced green onions
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 cup grated pepperjack cheese
about 12 small flour tortillas
kosher salt
butter
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. 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 garlic powder and mix well. Add green onions, chicken and pepperjack cheese and combine well.
Place 3 Tablespoons of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges. Then roll it up as tight as you can.
Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Brush the tops lightly with a small amount of butter and sprinkle a small amount of kosher salt on top.
Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Makes around 10 taquitos

These sound yummy. My kids always like to snitch stuff from the cutting board, but I haven't had one go for onions yet! Sometimes I even serve carrots and celery sliced like that for dinner because they think it's more fun to eat it that way instead of in sticks.
ReplyDeleteWe made these for dinner tonight and they were delish! Although, the last time you said pepperjack wasn't too hot I found that that was not so much the case so I just used regular jack cheese in these and that was perfect.
ReplyDeleteMia & Tiernan were helping make these and Mia licked the spoon (mid-stir) and stole a piece of chicken from the bowl - "I'm just trying it." Good thing she doesn't have a cold.
We liked these a lot too. I used a Mexican blend cheese. I doubled it so I could just use a regular sized cream cheese and froze some of them for later. I also cooked some on foil and some on a silpat mat to compare and the ones on the silpat cooked up even more crisp than the others. Cool!
