Ingredients
-
8 cassava flour tortillas (Siete Foods and Rise & Puff are great options)
Filling Ingredients:
-
2 cups shredded chicken
-
½ cup diced bell pepper
-
⅓ cup diced red onion
-
¼ cup mayo (Primal Kitchen avocado oil mayo is recommended)
-
3 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
-
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
-
1 teaspoon chili powder
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, mayo, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
-
Fill the Tortillas: Lay out the cassava flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Spread it evenly across the middle of the tortilla.
-
Roll the Taquitos: Carefully roll each tortilla around the filling, making sure to keep the ends tucked in.
-
Cook the Taquitos: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Place the taquitos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden and crispy.
-
Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.
Notes
-
If you prefer baked taquitos, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
-
You can make the filling ahead of time and refrigerate it for a couple of days before assembling and cooking.
- Feel free to customize the filling with extra veggies or spices to suit your taste.
