Ingredients

  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese

  • 1 ½ cups cooked chicken (shredded or grilled)

  • 1 tbsp low-carb ranch dressing

  • 1 tsp green onion, finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Make Filling → In a bowl, combine chicken, ranch, and green onions. Set aside.

  2. Bake Cheese → Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Place mozzarella slices on the sheet and bake 5–7 minutes, until bubbly with browned edges.

  3. Cool Slightly → Remove from oven and let cool for about 1 minute — just enough to handle while still pliable.

  4. Fill & Roll → Spread chicken mixture along one edge of each cheese slice. Roll tightly and place seam-side down.

  5. Serve → Enjoy warm as-is, or dip in extra ranch, guacamole, or salsa.

Notes

  • Handle quickly! Cheese hardens as it cools, so fill and roll while warm.

  • For crispier taquitos, place rolled taquitos back in the oven for 2–3 minutes.

  • Works with other cheeses like provolone or cheddar slices.

  • Keto Tortilla Hack → Melty mozzarella doubles as a low-carb wrap.

🍽 Variations & Serving Ideas

  • Buffalo Style → Swap ranch for buffalo sauce.

  • Tex-Mex Twist → Use taco seasoning and top with sour cream + salsa.

  • Dipping Pairings → Ranch, salsa, queso, or avocado crema.

🥡 Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

  • Reheat: Warm in oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes until crispy.

  • Freezer: Not recommended — cheese shells lose texture when thawed.

❓ FAQs

Q: Can I make these in the air fryer?
A: Yes! Bake the cheese slices on parchment until bubbly, then roll and air fry at 375°F for 2–3 minutes to crisp.

Q: Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?
A: Absolutely — it’s a quick shortcut and works perfectly.

Q: Can I prep them ahead?
A: Yes — assemble and refrigerate unbaked taquitos. Bake or air fry before serving to get the best texture.

✨ These Keto Chicken Ranch Taquitos are crunchy, cheesy, and satisfying — proof that low-carb eating doesn’t mean missing out on flavor!
