INGREDIENTS
  • ¼ cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken, supermarket rotisserie works great
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine the hot sauce and melted butter. Pour over the shredded chicken and mix until the chicken is well coated. Place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway. Let cool for 10 minutes while making the cheese shells.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan cheeses and jalapenos. Divide the cheese mixture into 6-mounded balls on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 1- 2 minutes. Using a spatula, gently flip the melted cheese over and place a few spoonfuls of the buffalo chicken on the edge of each shell. Quickly before the cheese hardens, tightly roll each one into a taquito shape. Enjoy!
