Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup cooked bacon (crumbled)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
Low-carb tortillas (such as almond flour or coconut flour tortillas)
Optional toppings: Sliced green onions, additional ranch dressing, or avocado

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Step 2: Place a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each low-carb tortilla. Roll tightly to form taquitos. If needed, use a toothpick to secure the ends.
Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the taquitos seam side down and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Remove from skillet and let cool slightly. Serve warm with optional toppings like sliced green onions, extra ranch dressing, or avocado.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, bake the taquitos at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes instead of frying.
Swap cooked turkey or rotisserie chicken for variety.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
Use full-fat cream cheese for richer flavor and better texture.

Storage

Store leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes or warm in a skillet to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to preserve texture.

FAQs

Can I freeze these taquitos?

Yes, you can freeze assembled but uncooked taquitos. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to frying or baking time.

What are good low-carb tortilla options?

Almond flour or coconut flour tortillas are excellent keto-friendly choices. Look for brands labeled low-carb or seek out homemade recipes to keep the carbs low.
