Chicken taquitos

One of the ways that we were so blessed by our friends after Sadie's birth was by all of the meals they brought.  I did not have to cook for an incredibly long period of time.  It was amazing!  These taquitos were brought to us and I loved them so much that I made them again. 

Chicken Taquitos
from A Wise Cook

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (if you use regular yogurt, you will need to strain it)

1/3 cup green salsa

1 Tablespoon lime juice

1/2 heaping teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cilantro

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I used boneless, skinless chicken)

1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

12-14 flour tortillas (fajita size)

Cooking Spray

Sea Salt

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 425*. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

2) In a large bowl combine greek yogurt, salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cilantro. Mix well. Stir in cooked shredded chicken and shredded cheese. *This can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover the bowl with plastic wrap and stick it in the fridge!

3) Spread about 2 spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons) of filling on center of tortilla. 

4) Spray top of taquitos generously with cooking spray (I used PAM Canola Oil spray). Sprinkle generously with sea salt. 

5) Bake at 425* for 15 minutes. The edges should be golden brown and the tops should be crisp. Let sit 5-10 minutes before eating.

We served them with black beans, salsa, queso and fruit.
