- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- oil spray
Ingredients
- 8–10 gluten-free tortillas (corn or wraps)
- 2 cups shredded chicken or beef
- 0.5 cup dairy-free cream cheese
- 0.5 cup dairy-free shredded cheese (optional)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil or avocado oil spray
- optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, dairy-free sour cream, shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, dairy-free cream cheese, shredded cheese (if using), and spices until creamy and well combined.
- Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 20 seconds to soften.
- Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Lightly spray taquitos with oil. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy. Optional: broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crunch.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken or pre-shredded beef for faster prep. Don’t skip warming the tortillas they’ll roll easier and won’t crack. Want extra crunch? Broil for 1–2 minutes after baking. These taquitos freeze well unbaked and can be cooked straight from frozen.
