Baked Honey Lime Chicken Taquitos


Ingredients:

Honey Lime Chicken Taquitos:
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken 

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/3 cup honey
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 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
1/3 cup green taco sauce (medium heat)
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, lime juice, honey, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and kosher salt; mix to coat.
3. 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.
4. Brush the tops with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
5. 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.)

6. 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.
