Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Large Skillet or Microwave

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
