Description
A delicious low-carb twist on a classic favorite that will satisfy your cravings!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 medium jalapeños, diced
- 8 low-carb tortillas
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Add a generous amount of the cheese and jalapeño mixture in the center of the tortilla.
- Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the mixture inside. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a spray of cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the taquitos from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream or guacamole.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is well softened for easy mixing.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer jalapeños.
- These taquitos can be baked instead of fried for a healthier option.
