Ingredients
Scale
- 8 Cassava Flour Tortillas
- 2 Cups Shredded Chicken (cooked)
- 1/2 Cup Diced Bell Pepper
- 1/3 Cup Diced Red Onion
- 1/4 Cup Mayo
- 3 Tablespoons Lime Juice (Fresh squeezed)
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
- 1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, mayo, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix gently until combined.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil to prevent sticking.
- Warm two tortillas at a time in the microwave for about 15–20 seconds to soften.
- Place a spoonful of filling near the edge of each tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Cook the taquitos seam-side down in the skillet for about 4–6 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook additional 4–5 minutes.
- Remove toothpicks and serve hot with guacamole and salsa.
Notes
For extra crunch, brush lightly with oil and air-fry instead of skillet-frying. Consider adding cheese or using Greek yogurt for a lighter filling.
