Baked Chicken Taquitos

One of my new favorites (and my kids like it too!):

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c to 1 c salsa (verde or regular)
1 T lime juice
1 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t garlic powder
3 T cilantro, chopped
2 green onion stalks, diced
2 c cooked and shredded chicken
1 c cheddar or Monterey cheese, shredded
flour or corn tortillas
kosher salt
cooking spray

Heat oven to 425 and line a cookie sheet with tinfoil that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.  In a bowl, mix cream cheese, salsa, lime juice,and seasonings.  Stir to combine, then add cilantro and green onions.  Add chicken and cheese, combine well.  Place 2 - 3 T of the chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.  Roll it up as tightly as possible.

Place filled taquitos seam-side down on the cookie sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.  When ready to bake, spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and lightly sprinkle some kosher salt on top.  Place in a pan and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.  Serve immediately.  Taquitos can be dipped in salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
