Ingredients
- 6 slices mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups cooked shredded or grilled chicken, cut into small cubes
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp canned green chiles, patted dry
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, combine the green chiles, cream cheese, and cooked chicken. Mix until well blended and set aside.
2. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
3. Bake the Cheese Slices
Place the mozzarella cheese slices on the silicone-lined baking sheet, spaced apart. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and the cheese is bubbly.
4. Assemble Taquitos
Remove the cheese from the oven and let it cool slightly, about 1 minute, until it is cool enough to handle but still pliable. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture at the edge of each cheese slice. Tightly roll the cheese slice around the filling, seam side down.
5. Serve
Enjoy warm! These taquitos are best served immediately while they’re crispy and hot.
