  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground chili powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 and 1/2 cups  freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1  cup  freshly grated monterey jack cheese
  • 2 and 1/2 cups shredded chicken ((I used a rotisserie chicken))
  • 20-22 corn or flour tortillas
  • Serve with: guacamole, pico de gallo, cotija or queso fresco cheese, fresh lime, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, etc.
  • Marzetti Ranch Veggie Dip + 2-3 chipotles

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spritz a large baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Using hand mixers, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt + pepper (I usually add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper), and fresh lime juice. Beat until smooth.
  • Add in both cheeses and the shredded chicken. Stir until mixture is well combined.
  • IF USING CORN TORTILLAS: Work with 2-3 tortillas at a time. Place the tortillas between two damp paper towels and place them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Remove the tortillas and working quickly, spread 2-3 tablespoons of the filling on the tortilla. Roll the tortillas up tightly and place seam side down on the prepared pan.
  • IF USING FLOUR TORTILLAS: Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the filling on the tortilla. Roll the tortillas up tightly and place seam side down on the prepared pan.
  • Spray the taquitos generously with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 10-15 minutes, until crispy.
  • Remove and add your favorite toppings as desired.
  • To make the ranch chipotle dip: finely dice the chipotles and stir into the Marzetti Ranch Veggie Dip. (Add to spice/taste preference).
