Taquitos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 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. 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.

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