Taquitos

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Taquitos

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Taquitos

    Take a corn tortilla and place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top of the chicken. Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling is securely wrapped inside. Repeat this process for all tortillas.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry the taquitos properly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Taquitos

    Once the oil is hot, place the rolled taquitos seam side down in the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the taquitos from the skillet and drain them on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the taquitos are frying, prepare the toppings by shredding the lettuce, dicing the tomato, and placing the salsa, guacamole, and sour cream in serving bowls.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the fried taquitos on a serving platter. Serve with salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream on the side for dipping.
