Chicken Taquitos with a Buttermilk Tomatillo Dressing

I got this recipe from Pinterest and it is originally from The Girl Who Ate Everything.  She has a great printable recipe for both!



Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients:
1/3 cup softened cream cheese
1/4 cup salsa verde
1 T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t garlic powder
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T chopped green onions
2 cups of shredded cooked chicken
1 cup grated pepperjack cheese
16 small flour tortillas (My mixture made 16)
sea salt
Olive Oil cooking spray

First I boiled 4-5 chicken breast with a generous sprinkle of lemon pepper seasoning.  I then put my chicken in a food processor along with my cilantro.

Soften the cream cheese and add salsa verde, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder and mix it well.

Then add chicken, cheese, cilantro and green onions.

I put this in the fridge until the kids came home.  Then I put a generous amount of the chicken mixture on to the bottom 1/3 of the tortilla and rolled it tightly.  Place the tortillas on a cooking pan sprayed with cooking spray.  Then lightly spray the tops of the taquitos and sprinkle salt on top.

Bake on 425 for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned and crispy!

Margot & Meredith ate them up, Noah ate them, but complained, because unless it's Oreos he complains about everything lately.


Buttermilk Tomatillo Dressing

1 (1 ounce) package of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup Mayo
2 small tomatillos
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 bunch of cilantro
1/2 t lime juice

Throw all the ingredients in a blender and store it in the refrigerator until ready!  So, so good.
