Turkey Taquitos
- 1 pound Leftover Cooked Turkey, Shredded
- 1 bag 24 Count, Corn Tortillas
- Vegetable Oil, For Frying
- 1 bunch Green Leaf Lettuce, Finely Shredded
- 2 pints Daisy's Homemade Hot Salsa
- 1/2 cups Queso Seco, Shredded (Mexican Dry Cheese)*
- 1.
- Shred or slice leftover cooked turkey into small pieces.
- 2.
- Heat corn tortillas in the microwave in a plastic bag for approximately one minute.
- (I like to sprinkle a bit of water in so they are nice and moist and dont fall apart.)
- As microwave heating varies, you will know they are ready when you can roll them and they dont break.
- 3.
- Place turkey on one side of a tortilla on a plate.
- Roll it up and place a toothpick in the middle to keep it rolled together.
- 4.
- Heat a pan of oil to medium heat.
- 5.
- Place taquitos in oil and fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
- 6.
- Finely shred green-leaf lettuce.
- 7.
- Top taquitos with shredded lettuce and salsa (my favorite is spicy tomato-avocado salsa) and a generous sprinkling of queso seco (basically a Mexican dry cheese).
- I use queso cotijo from my local grocer.
- Any Parmesan-type cheese will work.
- *You can find the recipe for Daisys Homemade Hot Salsa in my TastyKitchen recipe box (daisycooks).
- Now, try not to eat the whole plate.
- And refrain from cooking an entire other turkey just to make taquitos.
- These things arent light on the calories.
