How To Make Keto Jalapeño Popper Taquitos

To make these Keto Jalapeño Popper Taquitos you start by, preheating your oven to 400 F. Then in a small bowl mix the softened cream cheese with the diced pickled jalapeños and the shredded havarti cheese. Mix until well combined. Then use a microwave to warm the mixture, 25 – 30 seconds should be enough.

Cut the cheese slices in half then place them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 4 – 5  minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool for 1- 2 minutes. Flip upside down, then place a few spoonfuls of the jalapeño cream cheese on the edge of each shell. Tightly roll each one into a cigar shape. ( You need to do this quite quickly, before the cheese hardens )

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 in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.

On Keto, 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 should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

This Gluten Free and Keto Jalapeño Popper Taquitos recipe couldn’t be more simple. With only 4 ingredients there’s not much that can go wrong. I use pre sliced mozzarella cheese slices, which makes this recipe extra easy. Small piles of shredded mozzarella can be used instead of the cheese slices if needed.

Recipe Notes:

  • Use Parchment Paper (NOT waxed paper)
  • To reheat, preheat oven to 350 F. Bake for 4-5 minutes (if cold, a little less if room temp).
  • I let cheese shell cool for a minute then flipped it over before putting the filling onto it. This step isn’t necessary but I found that it made the taquitos look a little prettier.
  • Fresh Jalapeños can be used instead of the pickled jalapeños.
  • Removing the seeds from the Jalapeños makes them considerably less spicy.
  • This recipe makes 12 Keto Jalapeño Popper Taquitos.

    I bet a piping bag/ziplock would make the filling process faster and less messy!
