These taquitos may be keto friendly, but whether you love carbs or avoid them, this recipe could be your new favorite snack! It's so easy and only requires a few ingredients. I recommend using food safe gloves for the rolling part, to avoid burning your fingers, but other than that, you won't believe how simple it is to make these tasty taquitos!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, or 12 slices

• 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken, pork or beef

• 1/2 cup salsa of choice

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 2 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp chili powder or cayenne

• Sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce for serving

Directions

1. Preheat oven to at least 375 degrees (400 if your oven doesn't run too hot and heats evenly).

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Evenly distribute the cheese slices with an inch between them, or sprinkle the shredded cheese into even circles.

3. Bake the cheese for 8-10 minutes until it's starting to get brown and crispy.

4. While cheese is baking, combine the shredded meat, salsa, and seasonings.

5. Remove the cheese from the oven. Let cool 1-2 minutes.

6. Using food safe gloves, place a couple tablespoons of the meat mixture onto each one. Quickly roll the cheese around the meat and place the outside edge down so it doesn't unroll. (If the cheese cooled too much to roll, just put the tray back in the oven for 30 seconds to heat it up again.)

7. If you want the taquitos crispier, put the tray back in the oven for a few minutes, until the cheese is browned.

8. Let taquitos cool for a few minutes before serving so the shells harden. Enjoy with your choice of toppings or condiments!
