Baked Honey Lime Chicken Taquitos
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (I used rotisserie)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil and spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, lime juice and honey. Add in the shredded chicken, colby jack cheese, and cilantro. Stir until combined well.
