Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it&#8217;s soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, and chili powder. \u00a0Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or come unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1\/2 inch from the edges. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Then roll it up as tight as you can.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Serve with sour cream, salsa and guacamole.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:70px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/2010\/10\/17\/baked-chicken-taquitos\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"400\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of our great friends are leaving the hustle and bustle of Amarillo and are moving down to Houston at the end of the month. \u00a0We&#8217;re very sad to lose them and they will be missed! \u00a0It&#8217;s even more sad since they are some of the only Aggies we know up here! \u00a0We had a [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[122,4,144,8],"tags":[915,420,198,419],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p51jE-1a0","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4464"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4464\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
