Filling
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp green onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Assembly
- 6 tortillas (Siete Almond Flour tortillas preferred)
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, chopped green onion, diced red onion, garlic powder, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the taquitos: Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface, spoon an even amount of the buffalo chicken mixture onto one side, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.
- Cook 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 or a lightly greased baking tray. Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes or until the tortillas are crisp and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese dressing, or extra buffalo sauce for added heat.
Notes
- You can substitute regular flour tortillas if almond flour tortillas are unavailable, but nutritional values will vary.
- For a milder version, reduce the buffalo sauce or substitute with a milder wing sauce.
- Make sure to roll the taquitos tightly to prevent them from unrolling during baking.
- These can also be fried for a crispier exterior if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
