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!

Scrumptious! I microwaved each tortilla wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 15 seconds. By doing this, I was able to ensure that they didn’t crack. I substituted sour cream for the Crema. Tuned out great!

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!
