Carnivore Keto Chicken and Cheese Taquitos
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken cooked
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Carnivore-friendly tortillas or thin slices of beef jerky if using beef jerky, soften slightly
- Butter or cooking spray for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Lay out the tortillas or softened beef jerky slices.
- Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture onto each tortilla or jerky slice and roll it tightly to form a taquito.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Lightly coat the taquitos with butter or cooking spray.
- Place the taquitos in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use a non-dairy cheese.
To make a more substantial meal, try adding a bit of cooked bacon to the filling for extra flavor.
If you're looking to reduce carbs further, consider using thinly sliced beef jerky as the base instead of traditional tortillas.
These taquitos are ideal for those following the carnivore diet and can be made quickly in an air fryer for a crispy, low-carb treat.
