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.
