Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Hoagie rolls
- 2 cups Cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Frozen corn, thawed
- 2 cups Shredded pepper jack cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 4 oz can Diced green chilies
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
Cut each hoagie roll in half horizontally, but do not cut all the way through. Open them up slightly to create space for filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, softened cream cheese, diced green chilies, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spoon the filling evenly into each hoagie roll, pressing it in gently to ensure the sandwiches are nicely packed.
Top each sandwich with an even layer of shredded pepper jack cheese.
Brush the tops of the hoagie rolls with melted butter for a golden and crispy finish.
Place the sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy these flavorful Baked Southwest Sandwiches!
