Ingredients
Scale
- Cooked chicken (shredded) 2 cups
- Cream cheese (softened) 1/2 cup
- Shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup
- Ranch dressing 1/4 cup
- Cooked bacon (crumbled) 6 slices
- Garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon
- Onion powder 1/2 teaspoon
- Paprika1 /2 teaspoon ️
- Almond flour tortillas1 cup (or low-carb tortillas)
- Cooking spray or olive oil For greasing
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your taquitos will bake evenly and become crispy.
- Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- Mix these ingredients until they are well combined. The filling should be creamy and packed with flavor.
- Step 3: Assemble the Taquitos
- Take your almond flour tortillas (or low-carb tortillas) and place a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Be careful not to overfill them to prevent spillage while baking.
- Step 4: Bake
- Lightly spray or brush the taquitos with cooking spray or olive oil. This will help them achieve a golden, crispy texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
- Step 5: Serve
- Once baked, let the taquitos cool slightly. Serve them with additional ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor!
Notes
Don’t Overmix the Filling
- When combining the ingredients for the filling, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture, which isn’t ideal for taquitos.
Customize Your Spice Level
- If you enjoy heat, consider adding jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling. Adjust the amount of ranch dressing to balance out the flavors if you increase the spice.
