Steps (5)

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
  2. 2
    Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Add onion and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeño and cook another 2 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, cayenne and allow to toast for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the stove and allow to cool completely.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl add the cooled onion mixture, chicken, lime, cream cheese and Monterey Jack cheese and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4
    Working with one tortilla at a time, place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture at the bottom of the tortilla and roll to close. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet, spray the top with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with remaining filling and tortillas.
  5. 5
    Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and filling is warmed through. Remove from the oven, garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing to serve.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You must make these! I normally buy frozen taquitos, but these were way yummier and super quick/easy to make. Filling was creamy, cheesy, and a little bit spicy. I will definitely make these again...soon! I raved about them to my mom after making so much that she made them. She loved them as well and made her sister also try them out. The whole family loves these now!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Deep South Cajun style!! Yummy.. OMG..We've been making these for years... We substitute chicken, with beef and or Turkey..depending on what holiday is closest..for example to use our extra Turkey.. We also use several different Ranch flavors..the children love it.. I also sub.the Jal.Peppers for 1 tsp of Jal. Sweet Jelly. We don't use white salt on anything ever.. We use..Tony's Seasoning..we use it to taste..it is so so good.. this also cuts out the use of pepper...it's a two for one kind of thing. We love to use all different kinds of cheese,onion. We have TRUELY never found a Ranch that we don't like.. love...

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Snack I made these last week using homemade corn tortillas. They were excellent! My kids dipped in their favorite original hidden valley ranch and I spiced my ranch up using chili powder, cumin, and a touch of cayenne pepper.
