Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 taquitos

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup shredded mild white Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup chunky prepared salsa, plus more for serving, optional
Eight 6-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Add enough oil to a heavy bottom straight-sided pan to come 2 inches up the sides. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the chicken, Cheddar, 1/2 cup salsa and the cumin in a medium bowl. Spoon about a 1/4 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
  • Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, place the taquitos in the hot oil and fry, flipping as needed to brown evenly, until crispy and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, remove the taquitos to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Continue with the remaining taquitos. Serve alongside salsa and sour cream for dipping, if desired.

Time 30m

Yield 16 taquitos

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 lb ground beef, 80/20
1 cup white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups shredded chicken, cooked
1 cup tomato, crushed or diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mexican cheese blend
lime wedge
sour cream
fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Once the beef is browned, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes more to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef mixture from the pan and set aside.
  • In a clean large saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken and crushed tomatoes. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and oregano. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the Parmesan and Mexican-blend cheeses.
  • Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add about ¼ cup (25 G) of cheese to the center of the pan and spread into a circle. Let the cheese melt, then add a spoonful of beef or chicken filling to the bottom of the circle.
  • Slide the cheese shell out of the pan onto a cutting board and let cool for 30 seconds, then roll tightly to encase the filling. The melted cheese should stick to the outside, sealing the taquito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Serve the taquitos with lime wedges, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
