Mexican Chicken Dip With Lime Recipes

CHICKEN MEXICAN DIP - SUPER EASY!

Steps:

• In a microwavable bowl, microwave the chicken until it is hot (it takes my microwave 1 - 2 minutes).
• When it is hot, shred the chicken with two forks.
• Throw the cream cheese on top of the chicken and microwave on 10 second intervals until the cream cheese is softened and easy to stir.
• Stir in the salsa.
• Stir in the cheese.
• Stir in any additional ingredients that you choose. Optional - onion, black beans, cilantro - whatever you like! I usually use a red onion, but it tastes just as great without it.
• You can serve this hot or cold. I normally use Scoops, since the chicken can break thinner chips.
• This makes a small batch of appetizer portions. Double or triple the recipe if you are feeding a crowd! This dip is always one of the first to go, when I take it to parties.

• When ready to bake, place chicken breasts in a baking dish and place 2 lime slices under the skin of each breast.

BAKED CHICKEN TAQUITOS WITH GREEN CHILES AND AVOCADO YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• Shred chicken to make about 4 cups; discard bones and skin. In large bowl, toss chicken, cheese, onion, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, oregano and green chiles.
• Over gas burner or in skillet, heat tortillas until warm and pliable. Wrap tortillas in kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Working with 1 tortilla at a time, spoon about 2 tablespoons chicken mixture onto one side of tortilla. Wrap tortilla over filling and roll up. Place taquito seam side down on cookie sheet, gently pressing flat with palm of hand if needed to make sure taquito does not roll around. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, making sure to leave a bit of space between taquitos so they crisp nicely during baking. Brush tops of taquitos lightly with oil.
• Bake in center of oven 25 minutes, rotating pan once about halfway through baking.
• Meanwhile, cut avocado in half; remove pit. With spoon, scoop avocado flesh from shell into large bowl. With back of fork, mash avocado well. Fold in yogurt, lime juice and salt until thoroughly combined.
• Serve warm taquitos with dip.
