  • Place the filling along the longest end, not too much that it spills out. Roll it up.
  • Once the oil is heated up, place the tortilla in seam side down. Fry for 2 minutes, then flip. Fry for another 2 minutes then place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Work on 3 taquitos at a time, so this will take about 4 batches.
  • Serve with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • When steaming the corn tortillas, do only do 3 tortillas at a time. This makes the corn tortillas pliable. Only do 3 tortillas at a time or else they will dry out and break.
  • When frying, don't overcrowd or they won't fry properly.
  • To store: store in a covered container and eat within 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer. I do not recommend freezing these.
