Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper Chicken Taquitos

I just tried these out on a group of young men and they APPROVED.  Enthusiastically.
 
They are super easy and I admit I enjoyed them as well!  These will be showing up on my dinner table quite often.
 


 
 
 
I also made a batch of Café Rio's Creamy Tomatillo Ranch Dressing.  To Die For.
 

 
There are many recipes on the net which are all very similar.  This is my own combination of what I have found online and what my boys like.
 
 
1 packet dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
1 C. buttermilk
1 C. mayo
1 jalapeno chopped, remove seeds
juice of 1 lime
2 tomatillos, husked and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 bunch cilantro leaves coarsely chopped
 
Place all ingredients into a blender.
Blend on high for 2 minutes
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving
 
*****
 
*My boys like to see a little 'chunkiness' in their dressing so I pulse the mixture a few times until I have small enough chunks that will pass through a squeeze bottle.  I remove about 1/4 cup of the dressing and set it aside.  Now I blend the rest of the dressing for the full 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes I add the reserved dressing back into the blender and pulse everything together a few more times. 
This is mainly for appearances.
 
**This dressing will go FAST.  I always make a double batch or more.
