Mini Chicken Taquitos
These Mini Chicken Taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal, perfect for a quick bite or party appetizer. Featuring a creamy chicken and salsa filling rolled in low-carb tortillas and pan-fried to golden perfection.
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups finely shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 14 low carb street taco flour tortillas
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- Homemade guacamole for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, salsa, and softened cream cheese. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
- Lay out a low carb tortilla flat. Sprinkle a small amount of cheddar cheese onto one half, then spoon a portion of the chicken mixture over the cheese.
- Starting from the side with the chicken and cheese, carefully roll the tortilla tightly upward, like a small cigar. Repeat this simple process for all 14 tortillas.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil. Gently place the rolled taquitos seam-side down into the hot skillet. You might need to cook them in two batches, depending on your skillet size (about 7-8 per batch).
- Cook each taquito, turning occasionally, until all sides are beautifully golden brown and wonderfully crisp. This usually takes just a few minutes per side.
- Serve your hot and crispy mini taquitos immediately, perhaps with a refreshing side of fresh guacamole for dipping, if desired. Enjoy this easy and satisfying meal or snack!
