Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded beef or chicken with 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Taquitos

    Take a corn tortilla, add about 2 tablespoons of the meat and cheese mixture to one end, then roll it tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 3

    Fry the Taquitos

    In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled taquitos seam-side down. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the taquitos and serve hot with guacamole and sour cream on the side.
