Taquitos
- 4 Tablespoons Vegatable Oil (or Any Frying Oil)
- 2 Large Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cooked And Shredded
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Chicken Seasoning Of Your Choice
- 12 Corn Tortillas
- 6 Toothpicks Snapped In Half
- Additional Oil For Frying
- Heat the oil in a medium sized frying pan on medium/high heat.
- Once the oil is hot take each tortilla and fry on each side for about 4-5 seconds.
- The idea is to just soften the tortillas so they will roll easier, not the fry them.
- I use tongs for this.
- Once the tortillas are softened I place them on a plate (stack them on top of each other) to cool.
- After all the tortillas are softened take you shredded chicken and mix in the sour cream and seasoning until fully mixed together.
- I like to mix this with my hands and get the seasoning and chicken mixed together really well.
- Take a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture and put it in a line down the center of one corn tortilla and roll the tortilla up.
- Similar to making enchiladas.
- Roll the tortilla tightly and secure with half a toothpick.
- Continue until all the tortillas and filling are used.
- Sometimes I have to fry some additional tortillas to use up all the chicken mixture.
- After all of the taquitos are rolled up and secured you will need to fry them.
- You can either heat up a few inches of oil in your frying pan or use a deep fryer to fry the taquitos.
- I like to use a fryer as it is much faster.
- If using a pan with a few inches of oil set a few taquitos in the oil and turn them after about 2 minutes on each side.
- The chicken is already cooked so you just want the tortilla to get nice and crispy.
- Set the fried taquitos on a platter lined with paper towels and serve warm.
