Ingredients

Taquitos

Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine the shredded beef or chicken with salt. Mix well and set aside.

2. Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

3. Assemble the Taquitos

Take a corn tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick if needed.

4. Fry the Taquitos

Carefully place the rolled taquitos into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. Serve

Serve the taquitos hot with a side of rice, lettuce, guacamole salad, and sour cream.
