Description

Keto Jalapeño Popper Taquitos are a deliciously spicy and creamy snack perfect for a low-carb diet.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 low-carb tortillas
  • Optional toppings: Sour cream, green onions, or avocado

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Take one low-carb tortilla and place a generous amount of the chicken mixture in the center.
  4. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, making sure to seal the edges.
  5. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 for the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve with optional toppings like sour cream, green onions, or avocado, if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to remove the seeds from jalapeños for less heat.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste based on personal preference.
  • These taquitos can be made ahead and frozen before baking for a quick snack later.
