Keto Taquitos

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 2 c. shredded chicken
  • 2/3 c. red enchilada sauce
  • 4 tbsp. freshly chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 c. shredded cheddar
  • 2 c. shredded Monterey jack
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook about 3 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Add garlic, cumin, and chili powder; cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in chicken and enchilada sauce, then bring to a simmer.
  5. Mix in cilantro, season with salt, and remove from heat.
  6. In a bowl, combine cheddar and Monterey jack cheeses. Divide into twelve 3 1/2-inch piles on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden at the edges.
  8. Let the cheese shells cool for 2-4 minutes, then peel them off the parchment.
  9. Spoon a small amount of the chicken filling onto each shell and roll tightly into a taquito.
  10. Repeat with remaining shells and filling.
  11. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with sour cream for dipping.
