Dough

8 oz Mozzarella CheeseShredded or cubed

2 oz Cream Cheese

⅔ cup Almond Flour

⅓ cup Coconut Flour

1 Egg

1 tbsp Baking Powder

½ tsp Salt

Filling

1 cup Cooked Shredded Chicken

½ cup Black BeansOptional

½ cup Shredded Mexican Blend or Cheddar Cheese

3 tbsp Cream CheeseSoftened

1 tsp Southwestern SeasoningOr taco seasoning

Salt to Taste

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

Put mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave one minute. Stir. Microwave 30 seconds. Stir. At this point, all the cheese should be melted. Microwave 30 more seconds (it should look like cheese fondue at this point).

Put the melted cheese and the other dough ingredients into a food processor and pulse until a uniform dough forms. (Alternatively, you can mix by hand but make sure to knead the dough thoroughly).

Divide the dough into 24 pieces. Press each into the bottom and up the sides of a hole in the mini muffin tin. It helps to wet your hands.

Mix together the filling ingredients. Divide the filling between each piece of dough.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
