Baked Chicken Taquitos
- 1 dash Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 2 whole Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
- 3 ounces, weight Light Or Fat Free Cream Cheese
- 1/2 whole Lime, Juiced (Approximately 1 Tablespoon)
- 13 cups Green Salsa (I Use Arriba-medium)
- 3 Tablespoons Chopped Green Onions
- 1/2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt, Plus 1 Tablespoon To Sprinkle Over Taquitos Before Baking
- 1 teaspoon Ancho Chile Powder Or Chili Powder
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons Onion Powder
- 1/4 cups Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
- 1/2 cups 2% Sharp Cheddar, Shredded
- 1/2 cups 2% Pepper Jack Or Mexican Blend Cheese, Shredded
- 12 whole Corn Tortillas, Yellow
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Use dashes of salt and pepper to season your chicken breasts, wrap them in foil loosely and bake for 3540 minutes or until done.
- Allow to cool slightly and shred chicken by hand, food processor or with forks.
- After removing chicken, increase the oven temp to 425 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine light or fat free cream cheese (you can use either as the flavor of spices is nice and bold), lime juice, green salsa, green onions, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, chile powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and cilantro.
- Mix well.
- Add shredded cheeses and chicken and again mix well.
- Heat 2 to 3 corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds or until hot and pliable.
- The best method for this is to either cover them with plastic wrap on a plate, or place them between two damp paper towels.
- Once tortillas are softened, spoon a heaping tablespoon of chicken mixture onto the lower portion of a tortilla (the side closest to you) and roll it up somewhat tightly.
- Place on a baking sheet seam side down and repeat until all of the tortillas are rolled.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
- Bake 1520 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
- Serve with salsa, gaucamole, sour cream or light cilantro-lime dressing.
