1-12 oz. can refrigerated flaky biscuits

Topping

3 eggs, separated
¼ tsp salt
about 2 oz

Press or roll out each to 4” circle.  Place 1 chili wrapped cheese piece onto each circle’ fold dough over to cover completely.  Firmly pinch edges to seal.  Form each into finger shaped roll; place seam side up on greased cookie sheet.

In second bowl, beat egg yolks and salt.  Gently fold egg yolk mixture into egg whites until just blended.  Spoon mounds of egg mixture over each partially baked roll, covering completely.  Bake an additional 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. In small saucepan, heat taco sauce.  Spoon over chili rellenos.

  1. I made these Monday night for dinner only I used crescent roll dough instead of the bisquits. They were easy to make and really good. I put them together the night before and pulled them out of the refrigerator when I got home from work.
