A delicious way to use up leftover chicken or a deli rotisserie chicken is to make these crunchy keto taquitos. Shredded chicken is combined with a creamy cheese mixture, wrapped in a low-carb tortilla and fried to form a crispy chicken taquito.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of chopped spinach in this recipe?

OMG!!! These taquitos are ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!🌯🫔🌮❤️❤️❤️ I adore the simplicity of your recipes not to mention the flavors, because if there any complications, it ain't happening with me!!😆😆😆. If I ever write a cookbook, I'll call it The Lazy Cook.😉  Once again thank you for your recipes.❤️❤️❤️

A huge hit! I used leftover chicken, jalapeño cheddar, jalapeño Monterey Jack, red onion, red pepper, spinach and cream cheese with Orowheat low carb tortillas. Incredible, will definitely make again!

This was excellent.  One of the hardest things for me in staying low carb is how high carb my favorite Mexican recipes are.  I found the low-carb tortillas a couple of years ago and think they are just as good as regular flour tortillas.  Thanks to the person who provided the info about keto corn tortillas - I will have to order some!  I had some left-over cooked chicken and everything else the recipe called for except for the spinach - so substituted green onion. I cut everything in 1/8ths and just made one taquito - worked pretty well, but wow, what a spattering mess from the oil.  Still - I'm willing to put up with mess to have something as tasty as this!

I came across this recipe yesterday and I made them tonight. I used hamburger meat cause it was what i had thawed out. My husband is very picky eater  when it comes to keto and he loved them. I did make his with corn because that is what he prefers and I made mine with keto flour shells and he loved them both. They were awesome!!!  Thanks for the recipe.

Use Ala Madre low carb corn tortillas. 3 net carbs. Also, I just mixed some salsa with the shredded chicken and a little shredded cheese for the filling.   Easy and tasty. Made some  Tortilla chips and salsa for a side.

You can use Ala Madre low carb corn tortillas.  Can only find on the web. They make great tortilla chips too.

I make these and freeze them so I have them on-hand whenever I carve them. So good!!

Love the easy process and delicious results. Thank you!!

I had some thawed chicken thighs and breasts and had no clue what to do with them. I was happy to find this recipe and even more delighted that I had all the ingredients. I didn't add the spinach because of my picky eaters but they absolutely loved these!! I used regular flour tortillas for them and almond tortillas for me. My batch made many of these burritos but I'm guessing I used smaller tortillas then you did. My kids couldn't get enough of them. They wanted it again the next day and now it's in our weekly rotation. I popped these in the air fryer for about 11 minutes. I paused at around 4 minutes and flipped the tortillas. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
