Method

Appetizers

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, onion, garlic, cilantro, cheese, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Mix well until evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Warm the tortillas to make them pliable: wrap in a damp towel and microwave for 30–45 seconds, or briefly warm in a dry skillet on each side.

  3. 3

    Place 1–2 tablespoons filling on the edge of each tortilla. Roll tightly into a taquito shape and secure with a toothpick if desired.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet to 375°F (190°C). Use about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil in the pan.

  5. 5

    Fry taquitos in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per batch. Turn as needed for even browning.

  6. 6

    Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Let rest 1–2 minutes before serving.

  7. 7

    Serve with toppings and dips such as shredded lettuce, diced onion, cilantro, salsa verde, and sour cream. Garnish with lime wedges if desired.
