Ingredients:

⅓ C (3 oz) cream cheese
¼ C green salsa
1T fresh lime juice
½ t cumin
1 t chili powder
½ t onion powder
¼ t granulated garlic, or garlic powder
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken (for extra yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
1 C grated pepperjack cheesesmall corn tortillas (and actually, flour ones are really good as well)
kosher salt

Directions:

Heat oven to 425.
Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir.
Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic.
Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions.
Add chicken and cheese and combine well.
You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.
Work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking.
It helps to place them between damp paper towels, usually 20-30 seconds will do it.
Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about ½ 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.
