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.

These were so good! I made my own crema using sour cream mixed with some buttermilk and they turned out great! I suggest not leaving them on the pan for long... they fry very quickly.

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!
