Gluten Free Chicken Taquitos Recipe
This Gluten Free Chicken Taquitos Recipe brings street food crunch to your own kitchen — easy, quick, and packed with juicy, flavorful filling for a dinner everyone loves.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 12 small corn tortillas certified gluten free
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese optional
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup salsa optional, for moisture
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil for brushing or frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with taco seasoning, salsa (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir in cheese if desired.
- Warm corn tortillas in a microwave or skillet until soft and pliable.
- Place a spoonful of filling near one edge of each tortilla and roll tightly.
- To fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place taquitos seam-side down and cook until golden and crispy on all sides.
- To bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with oil and bake for 15–20 minutes, until crisp.
- Serve hot with toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, guacamole, or salsa.
Notes
Corn tortillas are naturally gluten free, but always check labels for cross-contamination. Store leftover taquitos in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.
