This gluten-free chicken taquitos recipe delivers all the flavor and satisfying crunch of traditional taquitos, without any of the gluten. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, a party appetizer, or a fun snack, these taquitos are guaranteed to be a hit.

Why Gluten-Free? For those with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or simply choosing a gluten-free lifestyle, finding delicious and satisfying alternatives can be a challenge. These taquitos utilize gluten-free tortillas to ensure everyone can enjoy this classic Mexican dish.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
• 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
• 10-12 gluten-free corn tortillas
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, cheese, and sour cream (if using). Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
2. Warm the gluten-free tortillas. This makes them more pliable and prevents them from cracking when rolled. You can warm them in the microwave for a few seconds or on a dry skillet over medium heat.
3. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla.
4. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
5. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Carefully place the taquitos in the hot oil, seam-side down. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the taquitos from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these gluten-free chicken taquitos with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo. They’re also delicious with a side of Mexican rice and beans. Enjoy!
