Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Gluten-Free Chicken Taquitos
  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced bell pepper, red onion, mayo, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. To ensure your gluten-free tortillas are pliable, stack two tortillas on a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
  3. Place a generous spoonful of your prepared filling in the center of each warm tortilla. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges to secure the filling.
  4. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the bottom with cooking spray or oil. Arrange the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the skillet, cooking for approximately 5 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve your Easy Gluten-Free Chicken Taquitos on a platter, allowing them to cool for a minute before serving with your favorite dips.
