Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 6 Siete Almond Flour tortillas
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, chopped green onion, diced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and sea salt. Mix everything thoroughly until well incorporated, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated and the flavors meld together.
  2. Assemble the Taquitos: Lay out the almond flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken mixture across each tortilla, spreading it out in a thin layer. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a taquito, securing the filling inside.
  3. Bake the Taquitos: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Bake them for 15-20 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown on the outside, and the cheese inside is melted.
  4. Serve: Once baked, remove the taquitos from the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes. Serve warm with optional sides like ranch or additional buffalo sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken with any cooked shredded chicken.
  • Using almond flour tortillas keeps these taquitos gluten-free and adds a nutty flavor.
  • If you prefer extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or extra buffalo sauce to the mixture.
  • For a crispier texture, you may lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
