Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

I made these last night and they turned out really good! Shane's mom posted it on Facebook and I had to try them, they're from six sisters stuff. They didn't look quite like the picture that they had on their site, but I thought they were perfect. They turn out nice and crispy like regular taquitos.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup (4 oz) cream cheese (light works fine in this recipe)
1/3 cup green salsa
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
2 Tablespoons sliced green onions
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup grated Pepperjack cheese
About 20 (6 inch) flour tortillas
Salt
Cooking spray

Directions:
Heat oven to 425 degrees. 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 garlic powder. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and Pepperjack cheese and combine well.
Place 2-3 Tablespoons of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges and roll it up as tight as you can. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
Lay all of the filled taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle some salt on top.
Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.

We didn't have a sauce for them, but they tasted just fine plain. If you want a sauce for them you could make a "salsa ranch" dip (just mix together equal parts salsa and ranch dressing), or it would also be good with guacamole or regular salsa,

This is how a few of mine looked when they were done, they were a nice golden brown:

They were very filling, I know the recipe said about 20, but ours made about 15 and we could barely finish them with just the 2 of us. I would have been perfectly fine with just a few of them.

Baked Tilapia with Tomato and Basil

I found this recipe on the food network, It's Paula Deen (gasp). It's actually pretty healthy...and is one of my go-tos for fish. Super duper easy and quick. I also don't use fresh ingredients, and I think it tastes awesome (haven't tried with fresh--you'll have to let me know if you do and how it tastes! :)). I also often forget the lemon, though it does taste good with (or without) it.

Nonstick cooking spray
2 (8-ounce) tilapia fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon minced fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a shallow 1-quart baking dish (I usually just use a 9x13 glass pan) with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the fish evenly with salt and pepper. Arrange the tilapia in a baking dish and sprinkle evenly with basil, oregano, onion powder and garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Arrange the tomato slices evenly over the fish, and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake until fish flakes easily with fork, about 20 to 25 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over fish and serve immediately.

I like mine with green beans and couscous. Yum!
