Creamy Chicken Toquitos

Okay, so, my husband LOVES mexican food. So I'm always looking for new, fabulous recipes so they don't get old and overused (you know what I mean, right?) so I was given a link for ourbestbites.com for an icing recipe (ALSO fabulous) and started poking around. I have a whole list of recipes I want to try from them. Anyway, this was supposed to be toquitos, you know, little rolls, but I'm not so good at that, so they ended up being yummy burritos. And I didn't have some of the ingredients on hand so it's a bit different, but yummy! I made a lot and they were lunches for hubby for about 4 days. So I'll post the original recipe, then tell you what I did differently.
"
1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 C green salsa
1T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t granulated garlic, or garlic powder
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken (for extra yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
1 C grated pepperjack cheese

small corn tortillas (and actually, flour ones are really good as well)
kosher salt
cooking spray
"
Okay, so I didn't have green onions, onion powder or green salsa (actually, I hadn't even HEARD of that, am I just dumb?) so I used a little can of chopped green chilies instead.
Preheat your oven to 425, put 2 or three tbsp of the mixture on a tortilla
 Roll it up and then lightly spray with Pam
Bake for 15-20 minutes. A tip that was one "ourbestbites" was to take a few tortillas (I used five) and have a damp paper towel on a plate, put your tortillas on, and put another damp tortilla on top. Microwave for about 40 seconds. Then they don't crack and unoll. Enjoy!
