Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked chicken, salsa, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Take each biscuit dough piece, and using your hands, flatten it into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the cheese and chicken mixture in the center of the circle.
-
Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching it at the top to form a mouse shape. Make sure to leave a small opening at the top for the "ears."
-
Place the formed Mexican Mice on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining biscuit dough and filling.
-
Before baking, gently press two sliced black olives onto each mouse for the eyes and two sliced jalapeños for the ears.
-
Lightly spray the mice with cooking spray to help them achieve a golden brown color while baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit dough is cooked through and golden brown.
-
Once done, remove the Mexican Mice from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
-
Arrange the Mexican Mice on a platter, and watch as they disappear quickly!
