Chicken Taquitos
Ingredients
3 tbs. cream cheese, brought to room temperature
½ tsp. smoked paprika
½ a BBQ chicken, meat shredded

Mix the cream cheese with the paprika and zest of the lime. Add the chicken and fold through to combine. Lay the Street Tacos out and grate over some Manchego cheese. Spread out a tablespoon of the chicken mixture on the bottom third of the taco. Roll into a cigar shape and fasten with 1-2 toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
