Keto Chicken Taquitos
When I need a quick and easy lunch recipe for all week, I turn to these Keto Chicken Taquitos.
Typically, I make these using slightly processed ingredients because they were born from a need to make something simple to eat.
However, there are LOTS of alternatives to make these Keto Chicken Taquitos grain free, or just “cleaner.”
Can Keto Chicken Taquitos Be Prepared Ahead of Time?
Besides being great finger foods, Keto Chicken Taquitos are a great meal to prep ahead of time and freeze!
They can either be prepared by placing the filling in the tortillas, rolling and freezing before baking.
OR, you can bake them completely and then freeze for reheating.
Both work well, and you can use whatever method works best for you and your family.
To reheat, cover the baking dish with tinfoil and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until tortillas brown.
What to serve Keto Chicken Taquitos With?
To make these a full meal, we often serve these with Keto Cilantro Lime Rice as our vegetable.
But we also like dipping sauces!
Some of our favorites:
- Restaurant Style Salsa
- Verde Salsa
- Avocado Ranch
- Sour Cream
- Guacamole
- Ranch Dressing
- Jalapeno Cilantro dipping sauce
