Chicken Taquito's

1 bar cream cheese
1/2 cup green enchilada sauce
 - I LOVE the Las Palmas brand!
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
4 green onions, sliced (greens and whites)
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese or a mix of Mexican cheeses
1 large package flour tortillas

In a large bowl, mash together the cream cheese, enchilada sauce, lime juice, spices, garlic, and green onions.
Mix it together.  Season with salt and pepper.
Add the cheese, cilantro, and shredded chicken.
Warm up your tortillas so that they are more pliable.  Put a few Tablespoons of the filling in the tortilla and roll up.
Line a baking sheet with tin foil, spray it with cooking spray.  Place the taquitos seam side down.  Spray the top with cooking spray.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until the tortillas are brown and crispy.
I like to serve mine with the leftover enchilada sauce.  And alongside some tortilla soup.  It is pretty much heaven.
