Ingredients

Taquitos

Tortilla Chips

Preparation

Prepare the Taquitos

1. Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, mix the ground beef (or shredded chicken or carnitas) with shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

2. Assemble the Taquitos

Take one corn tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture on one side. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Fry the Taquitos

3. Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat 2 cups of cooking oil over medium-high heat until hot.

4. Fry the Taquitos

Carefully place the taquitos in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Tortilla Chips

5. Cut the Tortillas

Cut the corn tortillas into triangles to make chips.

6. Fry the Chips

In the same hot oil used for the taquitos, fry the tortilla triangles until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Make Santiago's Salsa

7. Mix the Salsa Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
