Baked Chicken Bacon Taquitos

Baked Chicken Bacon Ranch Taquitos
My husband says that these are his new favorite taquitos.  I actually halved this recipe for just the two of us, and we still had plenty leftover.

Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened (I always use Neufchatel cheese, unless it is a dessert.)
12 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 (1 oz) packet dry Ranch Dressing mix
2 cups Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
3-4 Tablespoons green onion, chopped
20 (6-inch) flour tortillas (I actually used 8" tortillas)
Salt
Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Mix together cream cheese, chicken, bacon, cheese, and green onions. Add in about 1/2 of the dry Ranch dressing mix and taste (add more if you want more of a Ranch taste). Mix well. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into a flour tortilla and roll it up.
Place taquito seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat until your filling is gone.  Once finished, spray the tops of the taquitos with non-stick cooking spray (or you could lightly brush some olive oil on them) and sprinkle with salt (I like kosher salt).
Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes (or until edges and tops are golden). Let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve with Ranch dressing or "Salsa Ranch" (equal parts salsa and ranch).
