Creamy Chicken Taquitos

I love Taquitos but these are even better because they are not fried but BAKED. Sometimes I long for a simple meal not only for one night, but for the entire week. Sometimes cooking dinner after a long day of chasing kids, doing household chores and running errands is the last thing I want to do. If many of you are in the same boat, I hope you enjoy this easy recipe that the whole family will devour.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large chicken breast, cooked and shredded (Canned chicken works great!)
  • 1 can diced chilies
  • 1 can olives, chopped
  • 1 cup mayo
  • ½ cup blue cheese dressing
  • Dash of Paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic salt
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 6-8 flour tortillas

In a medium size bowl, combine chicken, chilies, olives, paprika, garlic salt and salt and pepper.

Add enough mixture to tortillas and roll up. I fill them pretty full as this is our main dish.

Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown and crispy. If you want them extra crispy, turn on the broiler and broil each side until it’s reached desired crispness. :)
