Instructions

Prepare the Filling: Combine shredded chicken, crumbled crispy bacon, ranch seasoning, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheese blend in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and thick enough to hold its shape for rolling.
Assemble the Taquitos: Lay out the low-carb tortillas and spoon a generous amount of filling onto each. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, ensuring the seam is secure and the filling does not spill out.
Bake or Fry Until Crispy: Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Alternatively, pan-fry the taquitos in a little oil over medium heat to achieve an extra crunchy exterior.
Cool and Serve: Allow the taquitos to cool slightly so they firm up. Serve warm, garnished with optional fresh herbs and accompanied by dips such as sour cream, guacamole, or ranch dressing.

Notes

Warm tortillas before rolling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
Do not overfill the taquitos to avoid bursting during cooking.
Always place taquitos seam-side down on the baking sheet to keep them tightly rolled.
Choose cheeses that melt well to bind the filling effectively.
If frying, monitor oil temperature to avoid soggy taquitos and achieve perfect crispiness.
