Now that your basketball brackets are all filled out and March Madness is in full swing what better way is there to watch all the fun basketball games than to enjoy them with some yummy food! If any of you are having guests over for a big game or just sitting around the house with your spouse and kids I’ve got a yummy taquito recipe that is perfect to snack on. It’s got chicken, cream cheese, and bacon. What more could you ask for? Well maybe some delicious avocado dipping sauce? Well this recipe has it all and you can either fry them up or enjoy a healthier version by baking them in the oven! (That’s what I prefer.)
Gather up all the ingredients. (I forgot to add the Monterrey jack cheese in the picture so you will need that too!)

Then mix the chicken (drained and rinsed), softened cream cheese, 1/2 the ranch dressing packet, bacon and Monterrey jack cheese all together in a bowl.
Next cut your tortillas with a round cutter into 3-inch circles
Then put your chicken mixture in the middle of the tortilla and roll up and secure with a toothpick
Next line a cooking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place your mini taquitos on the baking sheet and spray with cooking spray and then sprinkle with sea salt. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until edges and tops are done. Let cool for a couple minutes then serve!
Here is the full recipe with the avocado dipping sauce too! (You may want to double the avocado dipping sauce. It goes quick at our house!)
