Crispy Chicken Taquitos - ★Cooking Recipes★

A tasty hit at any party.
Directions for: Crispy Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for frying

2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

1 cup shredded mild white Cheddar cheese

tsp ground cumin

cup chunky prepared salsa, plus more for serving, optional

8 6-inch flour tortillas

cup sour cream, for serving, optional

Directions

1. Add enough oil to a heavy bottom straight-sided pan to come 2 inches up the sides. Heat over medium heat to 350F on a deep-fry thermometer.

2. Meanwhile, mix together the chicken, Cheddar, 1/2 cup salsa and the cumin in a medium bowl. Spoon about a 1/4 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.

3. Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, place the taquitos in the hot oil and fry, flipping as needed to brown evenly, until crispy and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, remove the taquitos to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Continue with the remaining taquitos. Serve alongside salsa and sour cream for dipping, if desired.
