Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- 2
Roll Out the Dough
Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball out into thin rectangles, about 4x2 inches.
- 3
Wrap the Cheese
Place a mozzarella cheese stick at one end of the rolled dough and carefully wrap it, sealing the edges to prevent the cheese from melting out.

Fry the Tequenos
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the wrapped cheese. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Avocado Dip
In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix in lime juice. Season with salt to taste.
