Steps:
- Cover a baking sheet with foil and grease it with cooking spray or brush it with some olive oil. Set it aside. In a bowl, mix the chicken, cream cheese, RO*TEL, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and shredded cheese with a fork. Heat up a package of taco sized flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds, to warm the tortillas and make them easy to roll, and to help prevent them from cracking. Spoon some of the chicken mixture across the width of the center portion of the tortilla. Fold the bottom half of the tortilla over the chicken mixture and roll the tortilla tightly. Place the taquito seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken and tortillas. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Flip them over, and bake 5 minutes more, so both sides get crispy and lightly browned. While the taquitos are baking, cut 2 avocados in half, take out the pit, and use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a bowl. Sprinkle the avocados with the juice of half of a lemon, then mash them with a fork. Add the remaining RO*TEL, and then salt to taste. Cut the taquitos diagonally in half and place them on a plate with a bowl of the prepared guacamole. Dig in and enjoy!!!
