Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, mayo, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Place a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. Lightly spray with avocado oil.
  3. Microwave two tortillas at a time wrapped in a damp paper towel for 15-20 seconds to soften.
  4. Take a softened tortilla, place a spoonful of filling, and roll snugly. Place rolled taquitos seam-side down on a clean plate.
  5. Place 3-4 taquitos in the skillet, cooking for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until crispy.
  6. Carefully remove from skillet and serve on a bed of romaine lettuce with guacamole and salsa on the side.
