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.
