Taquitos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, salt, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Taquitos

    Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture at one end of each tortilla, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  3. 3

    Fry the Taquitos

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the taquitos in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove toothpicks if used, and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
