On the menu...

We have not eaten at home in over a week, so we decided to whip something up tonight.  I always browse my Pinterest board for dinner ideas and we unbelievably agreed on these Chicken and Cream Cheese Taquitos.  It was the fastest dinner and easiest clean up ever.  (the recipe on my board says to fry them, we chose to bake them).
You will  need:
  • 3 cups of cooked chicken, shredded (we bought a rotisserie chicken and used half of it. We are going to use the other half tomorrow for something else)
  • 6 oz pkg of cream cheese, softened.  (I am not against off-brand products,because they are usually the same thing, but always use Philadelphia. There is seriously nothing worse than cheap cream cheese.)
  • 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese. (we used Sharp Cheddar).
  • 1 1/2 -2 cups of salsa, depending on how much you want. (I always get medium chunky Kroger brand salsa)
  • soft tortillas
Combine the chicken, salsa, cheese and cream cheese in a mixing bowl and then spoon mixture onto tortillas and wrap. Try and get the smallest tortillas so you can make small little wraps (unless you want more of a taquito/burrito).  Place them on ungreased cookie sheet for about 15 minutes.  I cooked them for about 12 minutes and then flipped them and cooked for another 5. 

We dipped ours in ranch, sour cream, and salsa! Whatever floats your boat!
