Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup red salsa
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 10-15 flour tortillas
- Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Mix the softened cream cheese, salsa, and sour cream in a large bowl until well combined.
- Pour the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the bowl and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Assemble the taquito by adding 2 tablespoons of filling to each flour tortilla. Use less or more depending on the taquito thickness you desire. Then, using your fingers, roll the taquitos up tightly.
- Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Be sure to wait until the oil is hot to begin cooking the taquitos.
- Fry 2-3 taquitos at a time, rotating them until golden brown on all sides. Finish frying up all of the taquitos. Serve warm.
Notes
You can also bake the taquitos. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray, then add the taquitos. Brush each taquito with a bit of vegetable oil, then bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
