Ingredients

6 servings

  • 6 cups chicken, shredded
  • ¼ cup jalapeño, diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups crema table cream
  • 24 corn tortillas
  • oil, for frying
  • ½ cup crema table cream
  • fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup cotija cheese
  • avocado

Instructions

  • In a sauce pan, over medium-high heat, combine all taquito filling ingredients. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
  • Place about 2 tablespoons of filling across the tortilla about ⅓ of the way up from the bottom of the tortilla, and roll the tortilla around the filling.
  • Heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully, place 3-4 taquitos in the oil, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. (Frying them seam side down first helps them stay closed during frying!)
  • Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on the taquito on a paper towel.
  • Place cooked taquitos on a bed of lettuce and garnish with crema, cilantro, cotija, and avocado.
  • Enjoy!
