Description
This recipe for low carb Keto Taquitos makes a delicious batch of taquitos with your favorite filling. Super quick to make, takes less than 20 minutes. Low Carb, keto friendly, gluten free
Ingredients
- Shredded Mexican Cheese Blendor shredded cheddar cheese, or round provolone circles
- Meat Filling of choice (I used carnitas, other good options are ground beef, shredded chicken, shredded beef, etc.)
- Toppings of choice: sour cream, pickled red onions, cilantro, hot sauce, salsa, guacamole, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper so that it doesn’t stick. Sprinkle shredded cheese in a thin layer on baking sheet into round circles, leaving a little room between each circle (they will spread when they melt).
- Put in the oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese has melted and started to get crispy.
- Heat whatever meat you are using and put in the cheese circles then roll up cheese.
- This step is optional but I think it’s important for the crunchy taquito texture: Lightly grease a pan with oil or butter and then place taquitos in, cooking until slightly crispy on all sides.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
I’m not including measurements here because it’s entirely up to you and however taquitos you want to make. For a frame of reference, I used about 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend and 1 1/2 cups meat to make six decent sized taquitos.
