Ingredients
- ½ cup salsa
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken or beef
- 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 12 (6-inch each) corn tortillas
- ⅓ cup oil for frying or to brush with
Instructions
- Place salsa in a fine strainer and let any juices drip away.
- In a bowl, combine chicken, drained salsa, cheese, and taco seasoning.
- Place tortillas on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 40 seconds or until warm.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.
- Preheat oil in a pan over medium-high heat (350°F).
- Add the taquitos a few at a time, and cook until crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Notes
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush each taquito with olive oil or vegetable oil and bake for 18-20 minutes or until crisp.
- Spray taquitos with cooking spray or brush with oil. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Place in a single layer and cook for 6-8 minutes or until crisp. Repeat with remaining taquitos.
- Nutrition information does not include oil. Taquitos can be prepared and rolled up to 24 hours before cooking or frozen. If cooking from frozen, add 2 to 3 minutes of cooking time depending on the cooking method.
