Zubereitung von Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in cilantro and green onions.
- Add shredded chicken and cheese. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.
- Microwave tortillas in batches between damp paper towels for 15-20 seconds, or until pliable enough to roll. (Alternatively, you can warm them in a dry skillet for a few seconds per side).
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla.
- Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
- **To Freeze:** Before baking, arrange the unbaked taquitos on a baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Once completely chilled, wrap each taquito individually in plastic wrap. Place in a labeled freezer bag and freeze. To bake from frozen, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
