Melt in Your Mouth Taquitos

I probably should have baked these but the idea of the crispiness that would come from drying them was too much to resist.  They were very good.  They kind of have a ranch flavor and the inside is just cheesy and creamy.  I would recommend warming the tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave first.  I think it would have made them more pliable and easier to roll tighter   That would have improved the appearance.  Definitely a keeper recipe.  :)
*TERRIBLE photo, but i forgot to take a picture until the lunch leftovers.  :(

1.5 cups cooked shredded chicken
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup salsa
3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar
3/4 cup baby spinach, stems removed, and chopped
salt and pepper
8-10 flour tortillas (the small taco ones)
canola oil

Mix ingredients together in a bowl and then season with salt and pepper.  Spread 2 Tbsp of the mixture onto each tortilla and spread out from center like a log.  Roll up and set seam side down on a plate.  Repeat until they are all prepared.  Add enough oil to a large skillet to generously cover the bottom.  Heat on medium and cook half at a time, turning to brown each side.  Remove to paper towels to drain.
