Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp green onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Wraps
- 6 Siete Almond Flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, diced red onion, buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, sea salt, and garlic powder. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined to create a flavorful filling.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the almond flour tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them soft and pliable, which will help prevent cracking when rolling.
- Assemble the taquitos: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture on one side of each warmed tortilla. Carefully roll the tortillas tightly around the filling to form compact rolls.
- Cook the taquitos: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled taquitos seam side down in the skillet and cook on each side until they are golden brown and crispy, ensuring they are heated through and have a satisfying crunch.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the skillet and top with additional chopped green onion for freshness. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken breast or thighs.
- Using almond flour tortillas keeps the recipe low-carb and gluten-free.
- Adjust the buffalo sauce amount according to your preferred spice level.
- For extra crispiness, you can bake the taquitos in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of pan-frying.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, blue cheese, or a creamy avocado dip.
