Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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
Wraps
- 6 tortillas (Siete Almond Flour tortillas recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: 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. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated to create a flavorful filling.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them soft and pliable, preventing cracking when rolling.
- Assemble the taquitos: Place a generous serving of the chicken mixture on one side of each warmed tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form the taquito.
- Cook the taquitos: Heat a skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Place the rolled taquitos seam side down and cook them until golden brown and crisp, flipping to cook both sides evenly. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Remove the golden, crispy taquitos from the skillet. Garnish with additional chopped green onion and serve alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken adds convenience and flavor, but cooked shredded chicken works fine.
- Microwaving the tortillas briefly is key to prevent cracking during rolling.
- Cook the taquitos seam side down first to help them hold their shape while cooking.
- For a spicier kick, add extra buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
