Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

1/3 C (3 oz) light 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 (leftovers work great!)
1 C grated pepperjack cheese

small corn or flour tortillas
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.

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 and roll them up as tight as you can.
Place on baking foil lined baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle each with a little salt and bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp and golden brown. So yummmy! My husband and kids gobbled these up without coming up for air. Definately a keeper!

1 Taquito = 5 Points+
(I used flour tortillas and the recipe made about 8 large taquitos. If yours makes more, adjust the Points+ accordingly)
