Chicken Burritos

I found an amazing recipe...and I will give total credit to the amazing gals from ourbestbites.com, they also have an amazing cookbook...but they had a recipe that caught my eye and they were origanally suppose to be taquitos. The problem that I have with taquitos is they are so small, that I end up eating way to many, and then it's a portion control issue, so I took the ingredients that they suggested and bought large flour tortilas and made them into burritos and they were so yummy!

1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese (I used 1/3 less fat)
1/4 C green salsa
1 T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t garlic powder
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken (I just boil it and then run it through my food processor to make it really easy!)
1 C grated pepperjack cheese

flour tortillas
kosher salt
cooking spray

Heat oven to 425. lightly coat baking sheet with cooking spray.

Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it’s soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.

You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.

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 are coming unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.

Place chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.


Then roll it up as tight as you can.


Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the burritos 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.


Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.

Then we dipped them in cilantro ranch dressing...you can find that recipe here
