Here’s what you’ll need to make these keto taquitos:
- 6 slices of mozzarella cheese
- (cut into small cubes) 2 cups cooked shredded or grilled chicken,
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons canned green chiles, patted dry
Instructions
- Take a bowl(small) and combine green chilies, cream cheese, and cooked chicken. Mix and put it aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and with a silicone baking mat, line a baking sheet .
- On the silicone baking sheet, place the mozzarella slices and bake 5-7 minutes or until the edges have begun to crisp.
- Once the cheese is bubbly and edges are browned, take it out from oven. Just until they are cool enough to handle but still warm enough to be pliable–allow to cool about 1 minute.
- On the edge of one slice, place the chicken filling and tightly roll up, placing seam side down.
- Continue with all 6 slices.
Tips for Success
- Work Quickly: Roll the cheese “tortillas” while they’re still warm and pliable to prevent cracking.
- Cheese Options: Use mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a milder flavor, or pepper jack for extra spice.
- Make it Spicier: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to the filling for more heat.
- Meal Prep: Make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for quick assembly.
