- 3 cups of rotisserie or chopped chicken
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 2 cups of spinach, chopped
- 2 cups of grated Mexican cheese (cheddar cheese, jack cheese)
- 30 ml of sour cream
- 25% of salsa
- 8 tortillas low in carbs
- frying using avocado oil (or olive oil)
In a skillet, warm the avocado oil over medium-high heat. A taquito should have at least half of its wrapper covered in avocado oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, spinach, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
Assemble by combining.
A tortilla should have 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the filling. Wrap the filling in the tortilla.
A few taquitos should be added to the hot oil and fried for one minute on each side.
Taquitos should be taken out of the pan and dried on paper towels. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
