Recipe Makes (Approximate): people
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken (, shredded or chopped)
- 2 ounces cream cheese (, softened)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- ¼ cup salsa
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (, to taste)
- 10 whole about 10 whole-wheat flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (, for baking, like avocado oil, light olive oil, or refined coconut oil)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet.
- Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
- Soften tortillas by wrapping a few at a time in a damp paper towel and microwaving in 15 seconds bursts, until a bit warm but not hot. Working with one at a time, spoon about 2 rounded tablespoons of chicken filling in the middle of the tortilla. Spread loosely towards the edges, keeping in a line shape, staying about a 1/2"-3/4" from the edge. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the wire rack. Repeat until all filling is used. Brush taquitos generously with oil on all sides and bake 18-22 minutes, or until a bit browned and crispy. Remove from oven and serve with avocado salsa.
