Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp green onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Other
- 6 tortillas (Siete Almond Flour tortillas recommended)
Instructions
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, finely chopped red onion, buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, sea salt, and garlic powder. Stir everything together until evenly mixed.
- Warm tortillas: Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
- Assemble taquitos: Place a serving of the chicken mixture on one side of each warmed tortilla. Tightly roll up each tortilla around the filling to form a compact roll.
- Cook taquitos: Heat a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy, ensuring the filling is heated through.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the skillet and top with additional chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken with any cooked shredded chicken.
- To make them extra crispy, lightly spray or brush the taquitos with oil before cooking.
- If you prefer less heat, adjust the amount of buffalo sauce or use a milder sauce.
- Gluten-free tortillas can be used to make this recipe gluten-friendly.
- These taquitos can be baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes as an alternative cooking method, flipping halfway through.
