Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Cook the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the shredded beef or chicken until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Tortillas
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. This will make rolling easier.

Assemble the Taquitos
Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly, securing the filling inside.

Fry the Taquitos
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the taquitos in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Sides
While the taquitos are frying, cook the rice according to package instructions and warm the refried beans.

Serve
Serve the taquitos hot with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, a dollop of sour cream, rice, and refried beans on the side.
