Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs Chicken Breast
  • 1 jar Salsa Verde I like Trader Joe's
  • 1 cup Water
  • 10 Siete Almond Flour Tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Place chicken in the instant pot with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of Trader Joe's Salsa Verde. Pressure cook on high for 12-14 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breast. Manually release when finished. You can also grill or bake the chicken until the internal temperature is 165°F.
  • When the chicken is finished, shred it completely. When you are finished shredding I like to add 2 tablespoon of the cooking liquid from the instant pot (or 2 extra tablespoon of Salsa Verde if you didn't use the instant pot) to the chicken.
  • Place a tortilla flat on a cutting board and add 2-3 tablespoon of chicken to it on one end and roll, carefully, into a taquito. Place the taquito with the open side down in the pan. Repeat this step until you have made your desired amount of taquitos.
  • Spray the taquitos with avocado oil and place in the oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the tortillas are browned.
  • Broil the taquitos for three minutes, being careful to watch the oven so the taquitos don't burn. This step is optional, but does allow the tortillas to get extra crispy.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Serve and enjoy!
