Crispy Chicken Taquitos filled with shredded chicken, cheese, and zesty salsa, perfect for snacks or main meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, cheese, salsa, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a skillet until warm and pliable.
  3. Fill and Roll: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
  4. Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Fry to Perfection: Fry taquitos in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve with additional salsa or guacamole.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider double frying them! If short on time, using a rotisserie chicken can save you preparation time. Ensure the oil is hot enough to prevent sogginess.
