  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 taquitos 1x
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Description

  • Crispy and flavorful taquitos made with shredded chicken, bell pepper, red onion, and a blend of spices, all wrapped in cassava flour tortillas. Perfect for a gluten-free snack or meal!

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cassava flour tortillas (brands like Siete Foods or Rise & Puff recommended)

  • Filling:

    • 2 cups shredded chicken

    • ½ cup diced bell pepper

    • ⅓ cup diced red onion

    • ¼ cup mayonnaise (Primal Kitchen avocado oil mayo suggested)

    • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

    • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

    • 1 teaspoon chili powder

    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

    • ½ teaspoon salt


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.

  • Warm the cassava flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 10-15 seconds per side to make them pliable.

  • Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly.

  • Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet.

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.

 

  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the mayonnaise with a dairy-free alternative.

To prevent the tortillas from cracking, warm them before rolling.

These taquitos can be frozen before baking. To bake from frozen, add 5-10 minutes to the original baking time
