For this recipe used slices of Colby-Jack cheese to create a crispy taquito shell packed with fajita fixings! This is the perfect way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables you have in the fridge!

Ingredients You Will Need:

• Cheese Slices: Colby Jack Cheese
• Chicken: Any variety of cooked chicken including rotisserie or leftover grilled or baked chicken
• Bell Pepper: Sautéed or grilled peppers
• Onion: Sautéed or grilled onions
• Hot Sauce
• Lime Juice
• Spices: cumin, salt, and pepper.

Instructions For Chicken Fajita Taquitos:

1. Combine the chicken, bell pepper, onion, hot sauce, lime juice, and spices in a small bowl.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
3. Place the cheese slices on the silicone baking sheet, and bake for 5-7 minutes.
4. When the edges have browned and the cheese is bubbly remove it from the oven. Allow them to cool about 1 minute, just so they are cool enough you can handle, but still very pliable. 
5. Place the fajita mixture on the edge of one slice and tightly roll them up, seam side down. 

Note: You can use any variety of cheese of your choice. For these fajita taquitos, Pepper Jack slices are a great option if you prefer things a bit spicier. One thing to note is that the grease content of each cheese is different. Mozzarella slices seem to be the least greasy, while cheddar and Swiss are quite greasy when cooked.
