Plus, you’ll appreciate how simple this recipe is. I love that you can use leftover rotisserie chicken for this or shred leftover chicken breast meat.
Hip tips for making these Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquitos:
- Different types of cheese can affect the end flavor of your taquito wraps, which is why we recommend using a Mexican blend of shredded cheese for these shells. There are other types that may work as well. Just be sure to choose a low-moisture cheese that hardens when you bake it, like cheddar.
- When preparing your shells, do your best to make sure that you’re using a thin layer of cheese and forming your circles into a uniform size – about six inches in diameter. That way, they’ll all be finished baking at about the same time.

Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, set aside.

- Make 6 small circles of cheese on the baking mat. Flatten cheese so it’s an even layer. Bake for about 6 minutes until edges are browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two.
- In a small bowl, mix Buffalo wing sauce with shredded chicken and heat in the microwave for one minute.
- While still warm and bendable, flip shells over, add shredded chicken to the middle, and roll it up. Continue with each of the shells and place rolled taquitos on a plate. This recipe makes 6 taquitos.
