Creamy Chicken Taquitos

 These are soooooooooooooooo yummy!  I have been seriously addicted to these lately...for lunch, for dinner...I think Jim is getting sick of them.  These freeze really well so they are a great meal to make ahead and pop into the oven when you are in a rush.

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)
1/3 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup green salsa
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
3 TBSP cilantro, chopped
2 TBSP green onions, chopped
1 cup grated pepperjack cheese (I've also done cheddar and it turned out fine)
about 15 small corn tortillas
kosher salt
cooking spray

Heat over to 425, line baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

Combine cream cheese, salsa, chili powder, cumin, garlic, cilantro, and green onions.  Stir in cheese and chicken.

Wrap your tortillas in a wet paper towel and place them in the microwave for about a minute and 15 seconds to soften them.  Work fast and add a few tablespoons of the mixture to each tortilla and roll up. Place seam down onto your baking sheet.  After all tortillas are filled spray the tops with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes until edges are golden.

Dip them in salsa, guacamole, or sour cream...or all 3. :)
