Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 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
Other Ingredients
- Low-carb tortillas (such as almond flour or coconut flour tortillas)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
- Optional toppings: Sliced green onions, additional ranch dressing, or avocado
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix everything together until well blended and creamy.
- Assemble the Taquitos: Place a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each low-carb tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to form a compact taquito. If necessary, secure the ends with a toothpick to prevent unrolling during cooking.
- Cook the Taquitos: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the taquitos seam side down to the skillet. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, turning gently, until each side is golden brown and crispy, ensuring they are heated through.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a plate. Serve warm with your choice of optional toppings such as sliced green onions, extra ranch dressing, or sliced avocado for added flavor and freshness.
Notes
- Use low-carb tortillas made from almond or coconut flour to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- If you prefer, you can bake the taquitos at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes for a slightly healthier version without frying.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier.
- To make extra crispy taquitos, briefly broil after frying for 1-2 minutes while watching carefully.
- Adjust seasoning and ranch quantity according to your taste preferences.
