Baking Tex Mex Chicken Melts for a Show: Do It Before or On-Site?

In summary, the Tex Mex Chicken Melts can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, and the necessary ingredients are boneless chicken breasts, Tex Mex seasoning, shredded cheese, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and flour tortillas. Other toppings such as salsa, sour cream, and guacamole can also be added for serving. Any type of protein can be used, and the baking time will vary but typically takes 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While it is possible to make the chicken melts on-site during the show, it is recommended to prepare as much as possible ahead of time for a smoother and more efficient demonstration.

Hi all! I have a host that wants to demo the Tex Mex Chicken Melts at her show next week. I'm hoping someone has done these before. I know the bread has to bake in the bread tube for an hour, so do you bake the bread before going to the show, or do you put it in the oven when you get there?
 
I would bake it at home before the show. It needs to cool and everything, I wouldn't risk it at a show.
 
Since we no longer sell the bread tubes I wpi;d just buy a loaf of french bread.

LOL - yeah - I was bummed out when they d/c them. I used to ask each host to buy a tube of Pillsbury French Loaf. And I would unroll it, sprinkle it w/cinn & sugar...and bake it before the guests arrived so that as they were arriving the ycould smell it. I would sell bread tubes like crazy that way - easy little $6 add-on.
