12 servings
- 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)
Steps
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.
