Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 ounces diced green chiles
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 16 6-inch flour tortillas
cilantro lime sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1-2 jalapeños seeded and diced, use two if you want a bit of heat
- 1 bunch cilantro leaves about 1 cup
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1 lime about 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- To make the cilantro lime sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor or high powered blender and pulse until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to use. (Sauce can be prepared in advance, or while taquitos are baking in step 7)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a large rimmed baking sheet.
- In your pressure cooker, combine chicken, water, cream cheese, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Cover and slide into the lock position. Make sure valve is sealed and set to MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK HIGH for 8 minutes.
- QUICK RELEASE by turning the valve to the venting position, once float valve drops remove the lid and shred chicken with two forks, then give it a good stir.
- Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, then roll up tightly and place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Leave a little room between each taquito to ensure they get nice and crispy on the outside. Brush with olive oil.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes til golden and crispy on the outside. Serve warm with cilantro lime sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
