Portobello Mushroom and Cream Cheese Taquitos image

This party appetizer was inspired by a dish I saw on an episode of Top Chef. I simplified it a little and tweaked the flavors a bit. These can be made ahead and reheated in a 250° oven for 10 minutes. —Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

These taquitos were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I will try baking them next time.

These taquitos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I will add some more spices next time. But overall, they were still good.

I love these taquitos! They are so easy to make and they are always a crowd-pleaser. I usually make them with portobello mushrooms, but I have also made them with other types of mushrooms. They are always delicious.
