Chicken Taquitos

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 25 MinTotal time: 35 Min

Ingredients

• 1lb chicken breast ⁣
• 1 pack taco seasoning⁣
• 4 oz cream cheese (I used jalapeño cream cheese)
• 2-3 tbsp water as needed ⁣
• Small-medium tortillas ⁣

Avocado cilantro crema⁣

• 1 small ripe avocado⁣
• Handful of fresh cilantro⁣
• Juice from 1/2 lime⁣
• 1-2 garlic cloves⁣
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt ⁣
• Pinch of salt ⁣

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Cook chicken (I used my InstantPot, you can cook on stove stop as well) then shred and place into a bowl.
2. Add taco seasoning and cream cheese. Mix together and add water as needed to make into a cohesive mixture without seeing dry seasoning.
3. Take about 1/4 cup shredded chicken (rough estimate) and place into a tortilla. Roll up and place onto baking sheet. Repeat until all chicken is used. Spray taquitos with cooking oil and sprinkle shredded cheese if you like. Cook for 8-10 minutes until taquitos are golden and crispy. ⁣
4. While taquitos are baking, blend crema ingredients together until smooth, serve in a small bowl! ⁣
