Description

Delicious and easy-to-make chicken taquitos, perfect for family meals or snacks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken (cooked)
  • 2 medium carrots (diced extra fine)
  • 1/2 packet Ranch dressing
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup shredded taco cheese
  • 10 taco-sized flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Mix 1/2 packet of ranch dressing mix with 1 cup of Greek yogurt to create a flavorful ranch dip. Set this aside.
  2. Clean the medium-sized carrots and dice them using a food processor, aiming for a fine texture to blend seamlessly into the chicken mixture.
  3. Combine the diced carrots and 1/2 cup of cheese with the prepared Greek yogurt dip.
  4. Chop the rotisserie chicken finely, creating bite-sized pieces, and mix it into the yogurt dip along with the carrots until well combined.
  5. Take a taco-sized tortilla and add about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture; top with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese.
  6. Roll the tortilla tightly, spraying the end with a bit of cooking spray to hold a seal.
  7. Arrange the rolled taquitos in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
  8. Air fry at 370F for 8 minutes, turning halfway through cooking for even crisp.
  9. Once they are golden brown, remove from the air fryer and garnish with cilantro if desired.

Notes

Consider adding veggies like diced carrots or bell peppers for extra nutrition. For a twist, use taco seasoning or different proteins.
