- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup diced green chiles
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 4 low-carb tortillas or cheese slices
- Olive oil or avocado oil spray
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Lightly warm each tortilla in a skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more flexible. If using cheese slices instead, skip this step.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the filling and spread it along one side of each tortilla or cheese slice. Roll each one tightly to form a taquito, then place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with oil to help them crisp up. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy.
Serve these hot with keto-friendly dips like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
