Healthy Dinner!

Hey everybody! I'm hoping lots of people are participating in the challenge Debbie set up! I think it can benefit all of us. I just finally filled out my Sign Up Sheet and paid the ten dollars... so I hope others have been faster than me. I just thought I would post a recipe that I found on Pinterest that Debbie and Cathy have both used as well and we all liked it! It is from tastykitchen.com and they got it from the Our Best Bites Recipe Book. Here it is:

Baked Chicken Taquitos

• ½ cups Plain Greek Yogurt
• ⅓ cups Green Salsa
• 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
• ½ teaspoons Ground Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• ½ teaspoons Onion Powder
• ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Cilantro
• 2 cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
• 15 whole Flour Tortillas
• Sea Salt 

1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl combine Greek yogurt, salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder and cilantro. Mix well. Stir in cooked shredded chicken and shredded cheese. Note: This can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover the bowl with plastic wrap and stick it in the fridge!
3. Put your tortillas on a work surface. Spread about 2 spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons) of filling down the center of a tortilla. Roll up the tortilla as tightly as you can (without the filling coming out of the sides)! Place the taquito seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
4. Spray top of taquitos generously with cooking spray (I used PAM canola oil spray). Sprinkle generously with sea salt.
5. Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes. The edges should be golden brown and the tops should be crisp. Let sit 5-10 minutes before eating. These are best eaten the day of!  



When I made them I didn't have green salsa, so I didn't use it, but I know Cathy did and thought it was yummy. I dipped mine in salsa instead. Cathy didn't dip hers in anything and felt like it would be better if there was a dip to go with it and found out later in the Our Best Bites cookbook it suggests dipping them in a Cilantro-Lime Ranch Dressing. Debbie was going to try and make a healthy version of this dip, but I haven't heard how it went yet. Also- I used the uncooked flour tortillas and thought it was really yummy.
