Easy Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
This easy Mexican-inspired dish is sure to be a hit!
Make our delicious keto Buffalo chicken taquitos by replacing traditional corn tortillas with crispy cheese shells (a fun variation of these one ingredient keto taco shells)! 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 Recipe Tips:
- If you love the bold flavor of buffalo wing sauce, you’ll love this choice as a delicious mix-in! If not, consider another flavor like keto-friendly BBQ sauce, or even taco-spiced shredded chicken or beef.
- Different brands of cheese can affect the end flavor which is why we loved using a Mexican-blend for these shells.
- These would be yummy dipped in our homemade keto ranch dip!

Can you recommend another bbq sauce that doesn’t contain sucralose?
Hi Diana! Primal kitchen makes an unsweetened BBQ sauce that you can add your own sweetener too. Hope this helps❤
