Method
Filling Preparation
- 1
Combine Filling Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, refried beans, salsa, ground cumin, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Assembling Taquitos
- 2
Prepare Tortillas
Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable. This helps prevent tearing when rolling.
- 3
Fill and Roll
Take a warm tortilla, place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center, and roll it tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Cooking
- 4
Fry Taquitos
In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolled taquitos seam-side down into the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Drain Excess Oil
Once cooked, remove the taquitos from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Serve Warm
Serve the taquitos warm with extra salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side for dipping.
