Chicken and Cream Cheese Taquitos

So I got home late today after taking the kiddos to Baby Animal Days.  It's one of those nights when it's late and you already made spaghetti this week, so you don't have any other "quick" meals.  So we tried this one.  And we were extremely pleased with the outcome.  Brooklyn even ate it.  Without a fight.  That's how you know it's good. DEFINITELY a repeat.

Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos (here)


1 1/2 cups cooked shredded cooked chicken
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/6 cup sour cream
1/4 cup salsa
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup chopped baby spinach, stems removed
coarse salt and fresh black pepper, to taste
4-5 (6-inch) flour tortillas
vegetable or canola oil, for frying

Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients (except tortillas) in a large bowl.
  2. Fill tortillas with mixture down the middle, roll up like a burrito.
  3. (Original recipe calls for frying these bad boys in a pan in oil.  I chose to bake them to keep them healthier.)  Cook at 350 for 12-15 mins.
  4. Serve with your choice of sauce.  (We just ate them straight up).


Easily 5 stars.
