For the Taquitos

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Taquitos

    In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Take a corn tortilla and fill it with 2 tablespoons of carnitas, then roll it tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  2. 2

    Fry the Taquitos

    Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolled taquitos into the oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Salsa

    In a blender, combine the avocados, tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Crema

    In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, lime juice, and salt until well combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the crispy taquitos, drizzle with the avocado-tomatillo salsa, add a dollop of crema fresca, and sprinkle crumbled queso fresco on top.
