Creamy Chicken Taquitos

I found this recipe, so I made a batch of homemade whole wheat tortillas and
this meal was so delicious.

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
3oz cream cheese
1/4 cup salsa verde
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (1/2 lime)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1 cup grated cheese (I used 1/2 pepperjack and 1/2 monterrey jack)
12 small flour tortillas
Oil for misting
Preheat oven to 400.

Heat cream cheese in microwave safe bowl for 20-30 seconds until soft.
Stir in salsa verde, lime juice, cumin, chili powder and garlic.
Stir in cilantro, green onions, chicken and cheese.


Heat 4 tortillas at a time in microwave for 20 seconds to soften. Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of chicken mixture into the middle of each tortilla, keeping the mixture 1/2 inch from edges and roll tightly. Place seam side down on metal baking sheet. Line up but don't let them touch.


Spray tops lightly with oil and bake for 15 minutes or until crisp and ends are golden brown.

Have you discovered this Ball fruit protector?
It's a powder that keeps fruit from turning brown,
I especially love it for apple slices in the "nestlings" lunches.
It also works great on avocados.
