Ingredients
Scale
Taquito Filling
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp green onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Wraps
- 6 tortillas (Siete Almond Flour tortillas used)
Instructions
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, chopped red onion, buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, sea salt, and garlic powder. Stir everything together thoroughly until well mixed.
- Prepare Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them soft and pliable, which will help prevent cracking when rolling.
- Assemble Taquitos: Place a portion of the chicken mixture onto one side of each warmed tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling to form compact taquitos.
- Cook on Stovetop: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and the exterior is crispy, typically about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the skillet, garnish with extra chopped green onion, and serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Use almond flour or corn tortillas as preferred, but warming them is essential for easy rolling.
- Adjust the spiciness of buffalo sauce to your taste.
- If you prefer, bake the taquitos at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until crispy as a healthier alternative.
- To make this gluten free, ensure the tortillas are certified gluten free.
- Leftover taquitos can be refrigerated and reheated in an air fryer or oven to restore crispiness.
