Creamy Lime Chicken Taquitos

This taquito recipe is very similar to my chicken rolls, only with a change of seasoning.  I loved how quickly this recipe came together, which made it perfect for a weekend dinner.  The seasonings use give them just enough of a smokey/spicy flavor without losing the creamy taste from the cream cheese and sour cream. 

Perhaps I'm not skilled enough in the baking of taquitos, but a lot of mine split open during baking.  I'm not quite sure what to do about that.  Perhaps my tortillas were too old and were more prone to splitting?  Or I cooked them to long?  Either way, quite a few spilled out onto the baking sheet.  Still yummy, just not as pretty.  :)

This would also be a perfect addition to a Cinco De Mayo party, or to throw in your child's lunch box!  maybe even an after school quick snack.  

CREAMY LIME CHICKEN TAQUITOS
Posted at: http://recipesofacheapskate.blogspot.com

• 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded/diced
• 4oz cream cheese, softened
• 6 oz shredded cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 Tbsp lime juice
• spices to taste: cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper (use as much or little to suit your family's spice tolerance)
• approx 12 six-inch tortillas (corn or flour)

Combine everything but the tortillas in a bowl and mix well.  Soften 3 tortillas at a time for approx 20 seconds in the microwave.  Spoon about 2Tbsp of the chicken mixture onto the tortillas and roll tightly.  Secure with toothpick(s).  Place on a greased baking sheet.  When all your tortillas are rolled, spray them lightly with cooking spray.  Then bake at 425degs for 15 minutes.  OPTIONALLY: you can heat up some oil and fry these babies!
