To a blender, add sour cream, avocado, lime, and salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
1 avocado, 1/4 cup sour cream, juice of half a lime, 1 handful, salt and pepper to taste
Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Spoon into bowl and place in fridge.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray a sheet pan with vegetable oil spray.
Mix the spice ingredients together with a fork in a small bowl.
1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon chili lime seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, 8 grounds pepper, pinch of sea salt
Place fish sticks on pan. Spray lightly and sprinkle seasoning over top. We make extra fish sticks because everyone loves them!
12 Fish Sticks, Vegetable oil spray
Unwrap the string cheese, and split each into 2 pieces. Split the tortillas into 2 foil pouches and set aside.
12 mini flour tortillas

Put fish sticks into oven for 4 minutes. Take out and flip fish sticks over & lightly season.
6 pepper jack cheese sticks
Place pan back into oven on the 2nd shelf, and place the foil pouches on the top shelf.
You want to warm the tortillas, but not get them crisp. Warming them will help keep taquitos together better.
Now it is time for assembly! This is where you want to put the younger children in charge of placing the string cheese in the tortilla, and make sure they don’t touch the hot pan!
Take 2 tortillas out of foil at a time and place on a plate, and add a piece of the string cheese and one fish stick to the edge, and then wrap tightly and set aside seam down. Repeat till all are done.

Re-spray same pan lightly and place all the rolled up taquitos seam down onto sheet pan. Sprinkle with seasoning, turn over, and sprinkle again, then place back to seam side down.
Return to oven for 4 minutes, then pull out and turn over, so they brown on both sides. Place back into oven and check at 3 minutes, but may take 4 minutes till brown.
Serve with bottle salsa, and avocado crema.
