Prepare cilantro-lime dressing by mixing together ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise, milk, lime juice, garlic, cilantro and green salsa in a blender. Sample and add hot sauce to taste. Place in the refrigerator and allow to thicken for 30-60 minutes.

Heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.

Heat the cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until soft.  Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir.  Add cilantro, green onions, shredded cooked chicken, cheese and combine well.

Working with a few tortillas at a time, heat them in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking, about 20-30 seconds.

Place 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture on the tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges. Roll tightly and place seam side down on the baking sheet making sure that the taquitos do not touch each other.

Place pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to brown.

Serve warm with cilantro-lime dressing.
