Ingredients
6 slices mozzarella cheese
1 ½ cups cooked chicken (shredded or grilled)
1 tbsp low-carb ranch dressing
1 tsp green onion, finely sliced
Instructions
Make Filling → In a bowl, combine chicken, ranch, and green onions. Set aside.
Bake Cheese → Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Place mozzarella slices on the sheet and bake 5–7 minutes, until bubbly with browned edges.
Cool Slightly → Remove from oven and let cool for about 1 minute — just enough to handle while still pliable.
Fill & Roll → Spread chicken mixture along one edge of each cheese slice. Roll tightly and place seam-side down.
Serve → Enjoy warm as-is, or dip in extra ranch, guacamole, or salsa.
Notes
Handle quickly! Cheese hardens as it cools, so fill and roll while warm.
For crispier taquitos, place rolled taquitos back in the oven for 2–3 minutes.
Works with other cheeses like provolone or cheddar slices.
