Making taquitos at home is surprisingly easy with this Creamy Verde Chicken Taquitos recipe. Just stir the filling ingredients together: shredded cooked chicken, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Pace® Cilantro Jalapeño Lime Sauce and chopped cilantro or green onion—all the flavor and heat are balanced by the creamy cheeses. Spray tortillas with cooking spray, roll tightly around the filling and air-fry (or bake) until golden-brown and crispy on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside. Serve with more Cilantro Jalapeño Lime sauce for dipping and you've got an easy snack or fun dinner in about 25 minutes.
