Chipotle chicken Taquitos

 

Makes 12

Farrah’s Taco Tortillas
2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
1/2 cup Chipotle sauce
2 cups Cheddar cheese
Toothpicks
Frying oil

Mix your shredded chicken, chipotle sauce and cheese in a bowl, ensure the mixture is wet enough to bind together.

Spoon the mixture onto one side of the tortilla and roll your tortilla tightly into a flute. Fasten the end with a toothpick so that it won't unravel while frying. Repeat with the rest.

Heat a neutral frying oil (like rice bran or canola) in a pan and fry each taquito until they puff up crisp and golden. Drain on a paper towel and remove toothpicks before serving.

Serve hot with a side of fresh guacamole and salsa.

  • Less is more, use filling sparingly so you can achieve a tight roll on your taquito.
  • Try using pulled pork or shredded beef.
  • Add some chopped jalapenos for a little bit of a kick.
