Ingredients
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1/3 cup buffalo sauce
10 slices of strong cheese such as provolone or mozzarella
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce in a bowl until well coated.Place a slice of cheese on the baking paper and bake for 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned around the edges.
Remove from oven, allow cheese to cool for a minute, then place a spoonful of buffalo chicken on one edge of the cheese.
Carefully roll the cheese around the chicken to form a taquito. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Place the taquitos in the oven for 2-3 minutes to ensure they are heated through and hold together.Allow to cool briefly before serving (be careful with hot cheese!).
Variations and Tips:
Add a touch of spring onions or cilantro mixed with the buffalo chicken.
Not a fan of buffalo sauce? Try barbecue or a keto teriyaki sauce.To prevent the taquitos from falling apart while baking, place them seam side down and avoid overfilling.
