Baked Honey Lime Chicken Taquitos
Yields 5 Servings (2 taquitos each)
Ingredients
Honey Lime Chicken Taquitos:
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken, (Rotisserie chicken is awesome for this!)
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 soft taco sized flour tortillas
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt, for sprinkling on top
Cilantro Lime Cream:
- 1 cup light sour cream
- ⅓ cup green taco sauce, medium heat
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ bunch fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, lime juice, honey, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and kosher salt; mix to coat.
- Lay out your tortillas and divide chicken evenly in a line on the center of each tortilla. Top each one with cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly, leaving the ends open, and place them on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
- Brush the tops with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake 5 minutes, flip them over. Bake 5 minutes more, flip them over again. Bake 5 more final minutes and you are done, for 15 minutes baking time total. (Make sure the centers have reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.)
- In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients for the cilantro lime cream and blend until smooth. Dip hot taquitos in the cool dip. Enjoy!
