INGREDIENT NOTES:
CREAM CHEESE:
- This cheese gives a smooth filling and richness to this meal. Don’t use the low-fat varieties because it has extra starch or water content. Use the mascarpone cheese instead to include a mild taste.
BACON:
- We utilize the bacon without sugar, honey flavoring, or extra maple. Read out the instructions carefully to check hidden carbs. Replace it with the turkey bacon for a leaner version.
SHREDDED CHICKEN:
- You can use the rotisserie chicken, but also check that it has no sugar. You can substitute it with the shredded turkey as you want.
KETO TORTILLAS:
- Use the keto tortillas to make these taquitos. They are made with coconut flour, cheese, or almond flour. You can replace it with cheese wraps or lettuce wraps.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- It melts quickly and includes a strong taste in this meal. We can swap it with the Colby, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella cheese.
RANCH SEASONING:
- We use the homemade ranch seasoning because the packaged seasoning has extra sugar or maltodextrin. If you want a tangy flavor, use the Greek yogurt also.
