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.

Q: Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?
