Servings 8 Taquitos

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 package Siete Almond Flour Tortillas
• 1.5-2 cups chicken shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
• 2 green onions thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp dairy-free cream cheese
• 1 4-oz can mild diced green chilis
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Toppings

• iceberg lettuce finely shredded
• guacamole
• pico de gallo
• cilantro
• jalapeños
• Quest Fresco (if you're not Whole30)

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil on the pan to prevent the taquitos from sticking while giving them a nice brown color.
• Combine all of the filling ingredients into a mixing bowl.
• Heat up the tortillas to make them pliable by placing them between two damp paper towels and microwaving for 45 seconds.
• Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling along the center of each tortillas and tightly roll up. Place the taquitos seam side down. Brush the tops of each taquitos with olive oil.
• Bake for 15 minutes, flip and continue to bake for about 10 minutes or until the taquitos are a light golden brown and crisp to the touch.

Notes

Optional filling swap: Swap chicken for 1LB of Organic Grass-Fed Beef.
