Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
To store these Savory Fajita Puffs, remove them from the mini muffin pan once they are cool enough to handle and allow them to cool the rest of the way on a rack or foil lined baking sheet.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. I place a sheet of wax paper between each layer of Puffs in the container.
