Oven-Baked Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients

For the Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken Taquitos:

8 flour tortillas
2 cups cooked and shredded seasoned chicken breast
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
6 slices cooked bacon, chopped into pieces
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
3 diced jalapenos
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Cooking spray

For the Lime Sour Cream:

1/2 cup sour cream
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped bacon, diced jalapenos, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken, bacon, and cheese mixture onto the tortilla's bottom third. Roll the tortilla tightly, starting from the bottom, to form a taquito. Place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray, ensuring they are evenly coated. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the taquitos are baking, prepare the lime sour cream by combining the sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
Once the taquitos are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm with a side of the zesty lime sour cream dip.
Enjoy the explosion of flavors as you bite into the crispy taquito filled with the creamy and spicy jalapeno popper-inspired chicken mixture. The tangy lime sour cream perfectly balances the heat and adds a refreshing touch to every bite.
