These keto jalapeno popper taquitos are seriously addicting! Add some bacon and dip them into ranch or hot sauce for a keto snack!
If you think that going keto means you have to give up things like tacos and taquitos, think again! This recipe will make you fall in love with keto cooking all over again.
Jalapeno Popper Ideas
Jalapeno poppers are some of my favorite snacks of all time. I love the spice and creamy filling. There are so many ways that you can take a basic jalapeno popper and make a bunch of different foods and snacks.
I still enjoy making jalapeno popper chicken salad for lunch. If I’m making dinner for my family, I might serve some jalapeno popper green bean casserole with it. The options are endless.
Keto Roll-Ups
Any time that you make a roll-up snack, it’s perfect for parties. You can just put little toothpicks in them and set them out on a tray. These are perfect for parties too. Set them out and you know there will be something at the party that you can snack on without guilt.
You can also just make a bunch for you and your kiddos. They are kid-friendly and make a low-carb snack that you won’t feel bad about eating when you are counting your carbs.
Trust me – dip them into some ranch dressing or add a bit of hot sauce! It really makes them taste even more amazing! ]
Keto Cream Cheese Taquitos
There are only 2g net carbs in each taquito! Enjoy a few of them for lunch or for an after-dinner snack.
One of my favorite foods before going on the keto diet was fried taquitos. This is a low-carb way to enjoy a taquito. Instead of wrapping the cream cheese and chicken up in a fried tortilla, I made a wrap out of shredded cheddar cheese. You won’t believe how amazing it tastes!
You can also add some bacon on the inside. If you think it is too spicy, just omit the jalapenos – but they are my favorite thing about them. Maybe just cut back on how many you put in.
How To Store Leftover Cheese-Wrapped Taquitos
The only downside to using shredded cheese as a wrap is that they don’t last very long in the refrigerator. Eat them fresh for the best taste and experience. Save the filling in an airtight container so you can make the cheddar cheese wraps separately if you have any leftover filling.
The filling will last about a week in the refrigerator.
