Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ⅓ cup salsa
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 8-10 small flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
- Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. This will make it easier to mix.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, salsa, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Next, mix in the cooked shredded chicken, colby jack cheese, green onion, and cilantro until everything is well combined. Make sure to taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed!
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, placing it about 1 inch from the edge. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are lightly browned around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning!
- Serve your Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos warm with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
