Flaky, cheesy, and filled with cilantro- and chipotle-seasoned chicken, black beans, and onion, these oven-ready appetizers will upgrade any game day gathering. All you have to do is bake them to golden perfection and share! We like to dip them in sour cream and salsa, but feel free to serve them with your favorite dips and toppings. Touchdown!
