Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.

- 1 tsp taco seasoning Adjust based on your spice preference.
For the Taquitos
- 10 gluten-free tortillas Corn or flour tortillas can be used.
- Olive oil For brushing.
For Serving (Optional)

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, dairy-free cheese, and taco seasoning. Stir until everything is well mixed.
Warm the Tortillas
- Warm the gluten-free tortillas in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
Assemble the Taquitos
- Take a spoonful of the chicken mixture and place it on one edge of each tortilla. Roll them tightly to secure the filling.
Bake
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Lightly brush them with olive oil.
- Bake the taquitos for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
For best flavor, consider using leftovers from a roast chicken or seasoned grilled chicken. Experiment with different gluten-free tortillas, as they can vary greatly in texture and taste. Enhance the mixture by adding sautéed vegetables or a spicy kick with jalapeños.
