  2. Take a low-carb tortilla and place a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll tightly to form a taquito.
  3. Repeat until all filling is used.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, and fry the taquitos until golden and crispy on both sides.
  2. Alternatively, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until crispy.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or skillet until crispy. You can use cooked beef or turkey instead of chicken and try spicy ranch for extra flavor.
