Keto Chicken Taquitos – Notes

Chicken – This is a great meal prep dish, use any leftover chicken or pre-cooked store-bought/homemade rotisserie chicken, make them in batches, and use them whenever you need chicken to make delicious meals.

Tortilla – I am using Mission Carb Balance Tortillas, available on Amazon. They taste like regular tortillas and are soft with only 6 grams net carbs. For gluten-free, try Julian Bakery keto tortillas which contain only 1 gram of net carbs.

Oil – My go-to option is avocado oil, you can use lard, coconut oil, tallow and duck fat.

Air fryer – Make these keto cheese chicken taquitos in the air fryer, Preheating the air fryer to 400°F, place the taquitos in the air fryer basket for about 7-9 minutes or until crisp. Check occasionally to ensure they do not burn.

Filling – For the filling, sub spinach with tomatoes & green onions, they will still be perfect & yummy.

Cheese – Use any type of cheese you prefer. I prefer mozzarella because of its mild flavor. Cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack will also work just fine.

Store – You can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. Gently warm them before serving. The chicken mixture will be good for up to 3-4 days.

How to serve this keto cream cheese chicken taquitos?

I like to top these low carb chicken taquitos with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. Other low-carb toppings are lime juice, pickled jalapenos, and cilantro. Top with more cheese and broil until the cheese is melted or pop them in the microwave. Also, add enchilada sauce over the keto taquitos.
