Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, spicy beef, or refried beans with salt and pepper. If using carne adovada or shredded beef brisket, add those to the mixture.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Taquitos

    Take a corn tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Roll it tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 3

    Fry the Taquitos

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the rolled taquitos seam-side down in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the taquitos from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with guacamole or chile con queso.
