Ingredients

for 6 servings

Taquito Filling

6 cups
chicken, shredded (750 g)
¼ cup
jalapeño, diced (25 g)
1 teaspoon
cumin
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 teaspoon
salt
1 ½ cups
crema table cream (375 g)
24 corn tortillas
oil, for frying

Garnishes

crema table cream
fresh cilantro
cotija cheese
avocado

Preparation

In a sauce pan, over medium-high heat, combine all taquito filling ingredients. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
Place about 2 tablespoons of filling across the tortilla about ⅓ of the way up from the bottom of the tortilla, and roll the tortilla around the filling.
Heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully, place 3-4 taquitos in the oil, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. (Frying them seam side down first helps them stay closed during frying!)
Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on the taquito on a paper towel.
Place cooked taquitos on a bed of lettuce and garnish with crema, cilantro, cotija, and avocado.
Enjoy!

I left out the cumin this time because I was serving it to my daughter. It left the mixture a bit bland. I would try this with sautéed onions, jalapeños (or green Chile), and garlic.

Since I'm a vegetarian, I swap the chicken for 2 cans of beans, and it is still amazing! You can even make scrambled eggs as a substitute (probably 5 eggs) and add cheese and make it into a breakfast taquito! Yum yum!

I made this for dinner and my family loved it. I added cream cheese along with the crema and it was so creamy. Will definitely make this again! Awesome recipe thank you 😊
