1/4
cup honey
·
1
teaspoon chili powder
·
1/2

·
1/2
teaspoon garlic powder
·
1/4

·
3
cups shredded chicken
·
1
cup shredded cheese (any variety)
·
1/4
cup chopped cilantro
·
20
small flour tortillas (about 6")

1/3
cup green salsa verde

INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Heat
oven to 425 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with tin foil sprayed lightly
with cooking spray or cover with parchment paper.
2.
Put
cream cheese in a large bowl and microwave for 20 seconds to soften. Mix in the
honey, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir. Add in
the chicken, cheese, and cilantro. Stir together until combined.
3.
Warm
up tortillas to get them soft (they will be easier to work with). Place about 2
tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the tortilla and roll up. Place seam
side down on the cookie sheet. Repeat until chicken is gone.
4.
Spray
the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray (this gets them golden brown and
crispy). If desired, take a pinch of kosher salt and sprinkle over the
taquitos. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
5. For
the sauce: Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until combined and creamy.
NOTES
· You
can use any cheese you want in this recipe. Pepper jack for some spice,
Monterey jack, Colby jack, Cheddar; any type you love.
· 3
cups shredded chicken is equal to about 2-3 chicken breasts. I cook mine in the
slow cooker with a can of chicken broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours and then
shred with two forks.
· Flour
tortillas are our favorite but you can also use corn tortillas. They are still
delicious. We just prefer the flour tortilla.
· If
you want more spice then increase the chili powder and/or add some cayenne
pepper. The recipe as is, is not spicy and great for little kids.
· The
small flour tortillas come in a pack of 20 so you will have enough with 1
package. They are about 6". They also have smaller tortillas, like
4", called 'street tacos' if you want smaller taquitos and more of them.
