Baked Chicken Taquitos

I got this recipe from a coworker and it is very tasty!

Ingredients:

2 cups shredded chicken breast

1/3 cup cream cheese

¼ cup green salsa

1 cup grated pepperjack cheese

1 fresh green chili pepper diced

1 ½-2 minced garlic cloves

3 Tbsp chopped cilantro

3 Tbsp sliced green onions

3 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice

½ tsp chili powder

½ tsp cumin

¼ tsp onion powder

Flour or corn tortillas

Sautee the diced green chili pepper in 1-2 Tbsp of oil on low heat until tender. (about 15 minutes).

Melt the cream cheese in a large bowl in the microwave so it is soft and easy to stir. Mix in all other ingredients with the cream cheese, including the sautéed green chili peppers. Warm tortillas in microwave so they are easy to roll. Place about 3 Tbsp (about 1/8 cup for larger tortillas) of cream cheese/chicken mixture into tortillas and roll, place in pan seam side down. Pour as much extra green salsa and pepperjack cheese on top as you like.

Bake uncovered on 425 for about 20 minutes.

One Year!

 

Two weekends ago Drew and I celebrated our one-year anniversary (and now I finally internet so I can upload pictures). Its so hard to believe that we've already made it past a year! Wednesday, four days before our anniversary, we left Spokane for a family reunion in Tamarack, Idaho. Tamarack was so scenic and the weather was perfect. We were able to go horseback riding and relax in our beautiful room complete with a fireplace, jet tub and sauna. It was amazing!  I was surprised by Drew on Saturday when he told me we were going to Caldwell, Idaho for the last two days of our vacation. I had such a great time.
