Instructions
- Finely slice the onion and chop the garlic.
- Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil for 4 minutes, then add the chicken and spices.
- Cook for 3 minutes so the filling is well flavoured, then remove from the heat.
- Warm the tortillas for a few seconds to make them pliable.
- Spoon some filling and cheese onto each tortilla, then roll tightly.
- Secure the end with a toothpick if needed.
- Heat the frying oil to 175 °C and lower the taquitos in small batches.
- Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning, until golden brown; drain on paper towel and serve hot.
Variations and tips
