Yummy!

Yesterday I was on Pinterest and found a receipe for homemade taquitos! I decided to make them last night and they were yummy! Below is the receipe, enjoy :)

3 oz cream cheese
1 cup of green salsa
1 cup of pepperjack cheese
2 cups of cooked/shredded chicken
1/4 cup of chopped green onions
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
10 flour or corn tortillas

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat the cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds or until easy to mix with. In a seperate bowl mix together the salsa, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and chili powder. Once mixed add the cream cheese, shredded cheese and green onions. Spoon about 2-3 tbsp in each shell leaving about 1/2 in on each side of the tortilla and roll tightly. Put on a cookie sheet lined with foil and lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Once rolled light spray them with cooking spray and bake about 15-20 mins.!!

I made this somewhat healthier by using 1/3 fat free cream cheese, and low fat mexican cheese. I also used wheat tortillas (couldn't even tell a difference), pre-cooked tyson's chicken (actually pretty good), red salsa (I didnt have green, but I bet that would be really good) and I just used taco seasoning instead of the cumin, onion/garlic/chili powder. They turned out pretty good, the kids even liked them!!! They were also very easy and not time consuming at all. It took me all of 10 minutes to mix together, and I only had to bake them for about 15 minutes! So all together 25 minutes for dinner was awesome when you have impatient kids!! You could also mix the chicken mixture ahead of time and put in the fridge!!!
