Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup ranch dressing (preferably homemade or keto-friendly)

1 cup cooked bacon, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

8 large lettuce leaves (for wrapping)

Olive oil spray (for cooking)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, chopped bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

      Assemble the Taquitos: Lay a large lettuce leaf flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the edge of the leaf and roll it tightly. The filling should be tucked neatly inside the lettuce wrap. Repeat this process for the remaining filling and lettuce leaves.

        Bake the Taquitos: Place the filled lettuce taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the lettuce are golden and crispy.

          Serving: Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving. You can serve these taquitos with extra ranch dressing or your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.

            Enjoy: These Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Taquitos make for a great appetizer or a quick lunch. Dive in and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
