How To Make Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquitos

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?

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s 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.

Ingredients 

1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 Cup Shredded Cooked Chicken

1/4 Cup Franks Red Hot Sauce

1 Tbsp Melted Butter

Directions

1. Pre heat oven to 400 F. In a small bowl mix the hot sauce and butter together. 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, stirring half way. Let cool for 10 minutes before making the cheese shells.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Divid the cheese mixture into 6 then make balls. Place onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake @ 400 F for 6-8  minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

3. 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. ( You need to do this quite quickly, before the cheese hardens )

This recipe makes 6 Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquitos.

Recipe Notes:

– To reheat, Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake for 6-8 minutes.

– 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.

– Use Parchment Paper (NOT waxed paper)
