Description
Crispy, flavorful taquitos filled with seasoned chicken, made completely gluten free for a quick and tasty meal.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover chicken works great)
1/2 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot to taste)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup dairy free shredded cheese (optional)
10 small gluten free tortillas
Olive oil spray or brush of avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, salsa, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and dairy free cheese (if using).
Warm the gluten free tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet for 20–30 seconds to make them pliable.
Place 2–3 tablespoons of chicken filling along one edge of each tortilla and roll tightly.
Place rolled taquitos seam side down on the baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush with oil.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or dairy free sour cream.
Notes
To freeze: Assemble taquitos, freeze on a tray, then store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen for 20–25 minutes.
For extra crunch, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
Can be air-fried at 400°F for 8–10 minutes.
