Homemade Chicken Taquitos
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, poached and shredded
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning**
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups mozzarella, shredded
- 2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole**
- 1 cup pico de gallo**
- canola oil, for frying
- tooth picks
Method
- Wrap tortillas in a tea towel and microwave for 1 minute.
- In a large bowl combine taco seasoning along with shredded chicken breast and mozzarella.
- Working with one tortilla at a time, measure out ⅓ of a cup filling and place down the center of the tortilla. Tightly wrap/roll the tortilla around the filling and pierce with a toothpick to hold it together. Tip: Cover prepared taquitos with a damp towel to keep the tortillas from cracking.
- Heat 1” of canola oil over medium heat until oil is glistening. Working in small batches fry the prepared taquitos until light brown, rotating every 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. If making a large batch, place finished taquitos on a baking sheet in a 250°F oven until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, top taquitos with shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo or salsa.
