Creamy Baked Taquitos

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (3 oz) cream cheese (low fat is fine, avoid fat free)
  • 1/4 cup green salsa
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic, or garlic powder
  • 3 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 2 Tablespoon sliced green onions
  • 2 C shredded cooked chicken (for extra yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
  • 1 C grated pepperjack or plain jack cheese
  • small flour or corn tortillas
  • kosher salt
  • cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir.
  2. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic.
  3. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions.
  4. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.
  5. (You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.)
  6. Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  7. If using corn tortillas, work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave, wrapped in damp paper towels until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If using flour tortillas straight from the fridge, it helps to warm them in the microwave so they're easier to roll.
  8. Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1 inch from the edges. Roll up tortillas and place seam down on a baking sheet, not touching one another. Spray lightly with cooking spray, or lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Dip in sour cream, or our favorite: Creamy Lime-Cilantro Ranch.
  9. Prepare the taquitos through rolling them out and placing them on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until solid, then transfer to a large freezer bag. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425 and place the taquitos on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy

Labels (12): Place frozen taquitos on a lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Slow cooker french dip sandwich

Slow cooker French Dip sandwiches

2 T olive oil
1/2 large beef roast
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 pkgs dry onion soup mix
1 cups water
1 (14.5 oz) cans beef broth
6 - 8  slices of Swiss cheese
Crusty buns or rolls

Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or skillet over medium high heat. While oil is heating, sprinkle all sides of the roast with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
2. When the oil is very hot, carefully place the roast in the pan and sear it on all sides. This shouldn't take more than a few minutes you just want to quickly brown the roast to add flavor and seal in the juices.
3. Transfer the roast to your slow cooker. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and add water and beef broth.
4.Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours. You can also cook int on high until it begins to boil and then switch the heat setting to low; this is our preferred method but it's not always possible to be there to switch the heat setting in the middle of the day.
5. When the meat shreds easily with a fork, shred the entire roast. Serve on sliced crusty rolls with a slice of Swiss cheese. If desired, you can slide these under the broiler on your oven to toast the bun and melt the cheese. Serve with the juices from the slow cooker used for dipping.

Chicken Bacon Subs for the Freezer


 Chicken Bacon Subs for the Freezer | Life as Mom
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
8 servings
Ingredients:
  • 1 large French loaf, sliced lengthwise or 12 sandwich rolls, split
  • 1/2 cup garlic butter
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/4 cup chopped bacon, cooked crisp
  • 5 ounces sliced mozzarella or jack cheese
Instructions:
  1. Place the French loaf on a large sheet of aluminum foil or each roll on its own square of foil. Spread the garlic butter on both halves. Layer cheese slices over the bread. Next layer the shredded chicken over the cheese. Sprinkle bacon over the chicken. Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich. Wrap in foil.
  2. If serving right away, bake in 350 oven for about 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bread. If preparing to serve later, freeze.
  3. On serving day, bake for 50-70 minutes if frozen. If thawed, bake for 25-30 minutes.
