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

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed these taquitos. The cream cheese filling was the perfect complement to the mushrooms.

These taquitos were a great way to use up some leftover portobello mushrooms. They were also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my taquitos turned out soggy. I think I might have overcooked them.
