How do you Make a Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquito?
To make These Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquitos, you mix the hot sauce and butter together and pour over the shredded chicken. Then mix until the chicken is well coated. Place the chicken into a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Then mix the cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Divid the cheese mixture into 6, then make into balls. Place onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Let cool for 1- 2 minutes. Flip upside down, then place a few spoonfuls of the buffalo chicken on the edge of each shell. Tightly roll each one into a cigar shape.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Notes:
- To reheat, Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake for 6-8 minutes.

- Make sure to use Parchment Paper (NOT waxed paper)
- Using a grocery store rotisserie chicken makes this recipe extra quick and easy to make.
- Cheese slices also work great for this recipe.
- This recipe makes 6 Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquitos.

Thanks for the delicious recipes ?
officially gluten free
You’re so welcome ?
Melissa Nichole
These look wonderful! Do you know if they freeze well?
officially gluten free
Thanks Melissa. I haven’t tried freezing them yet but I think they would freeze well. I would completely defrost before reheating them though. They might loose their shape if heated to long.
kat0711
I’m positive if you reheat them enough to defrost the meat inside, the cheese will be all over the place.
Kendra
These look yummy!! Is one taquito one serving?
officially gluten free
Hi Kendra, yes one Taquito is one serving.
Karen
Where do you find Old cheddar cheese??
officially gluten free
Hi Karen, I believe Old cheddar is the same as sharp cheddar. We call it old cheddar in the part of Canada that I live in.
Christine

Tashauna Manary
Can dairy free cheese be used? I’ve got a bunch of new diet restrictions and this sounds absolutely fabulous.
officially gluten free
Thanks Tashauna, I haven’t tried making them with dairy free cheese before but there are a bunch of recipes for dairy free cheese crisps on the Internet so I think it would work.

Why are mine sticking to the parchment? They don’t come off well and fall apart or have parchment stuck to them.
Coralis
I have the same problem!! Had the chicken ready, but cheese shells never came out! ? couldn’t try it!
kat0711
Thank you I love this idea so much! I gave up wheat again and I might do gluten free once in a while but GF tortillas are awful. This is a brilliant solution. I’m wrapping these in lettuce and they’re delicious! I call it Mexican sushi 😉
Ellie
I made them for my husband asI am lactose intolerant and he loved them!!! The problem is that one serving is not much so I gave him 2 and the calories are high! He does keto and counts calories as well. I recommend them , easy and full of flavor according to him
