WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
These Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquitos are loaded with flavor and provide a nutritious hit of healthy fats. They can be made with many variations. Instead of Franks Red you could use a keto bbq sauce or you could add a little cream cheese and or jalapeños.

Recipe Notes:
– To reheat, Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake for 6-8 minutes.
– I let cheese shell cool for a minute then flipped it over before putting the filling onto it. This step isn’t necessary but I found that it made the taquitos look a little prettier.
– Use Parchment Paper (NOT waxed paper)
