Ingredients

4 oz 1/3 fat cream cheese
2 tbsp plain low-fat yogurt
2 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp scallions
1/4 tsp garlic powder
12 corn tortillas
2 large jalapenos

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F.
Mix the cream cheese, yogurt, cheddar, scallions, and garlic powder in a bowl.
Remove the jalapeño seeds, finely chop the peppers, and stir them into the filling.
Warm the tortillas briefly so they bend without cracking.
Place filling in each tortilla, roll tightly, and arrange them seam-side down on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the taquitos are crisp.
