Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil and spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside.
Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, salsa, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt. Add in the shredded chicken, Colby Jack cheese, green onions, and cilantro. Stir until well combined.
Place about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture about 1 inch from the edge of each flour tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with each tortilla, placing them about 1 inch apart and not touching each other on the baking sheet.
Bake the taquitos for 15-20 minutes or until the tortillas are lightly browning around the edges.
Serve the Baked Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos warm with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite sauce for dipping.
