Description

These Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Taquitos are a low-carb, high-protein snack or appetizer that’s perfect for keto diets. Made with mozzarella cheese shells filled with a flavorful mixture of cooked chicken, crispy bacon, green onions, and creamy ranch dressing, these taquitos are baked until bubbly and golden. Quick to prepare and deliciously satisfying, they’re perfect for keto-friendly meals or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Shells

  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese

Filling

  • 1 ½ cups cooked shredded or grilled chicken
  • ¼ cup cooked bacon (2-3 slices, cooked)
  • 1 tablespoon low carb ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon green onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cooked bacon pieces, low carb ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  3. Make cheese shells: Arrange the mozzarella cheese slices on the lined baking sheet, spacing them so they do not touch. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes until the edges brown and the cheese bubbles.
  4. Cool cheese shells: Remove the cheese slices from the oven and let them cool for about 1 minute until they are still pliable but cool enough to handle.
  5. Assemble the taquitos: Place a portion of the chicken bacon ranch mixture on one edge of a cheese slice. Tightly roll the slice over the filling, placing the seam side down on the baking mat to maintain the shape.
