Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cooked shredded chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Fat-free cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mild green chilies (diced, canned)
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 8 small (6-inch) Corn tortillas
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, fat-free cream cheese, Mexican cheese, diced green chilies, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until pliable, to prevent cracking when rolling.
Step 4
Working one at a time, add about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture to the lower third of a tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling until all taquitos are assembled.
Step 6
Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with non-stick cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden and crunchy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Serve with salsa on the side and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
