Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or shredded chicken until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until well combined. Season with salt to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Taquitos

    Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and roll tightly.

  3. 3

    Fry the Taquitos

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the rolled taquitos seam-side down into the oil. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve hot with sour cream, salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on top.
