1
Heat the oil in a medium sized frying pan on medium/high heat.
-
2
Once the oil is hot take each tortilla and fry on each side for about 4-5 seconds.
-
3
The idea is to just soften the tortillas so they will roll easier, not the fry them.
-
4
I use tongs for this.
-
5
Once the tortillas are softened I place them on a plate (stack them on top of each other) to cool.
-
6
After all the tortillas are softened take you shredded chicken and mix in the sour cream and seasoning until fully mixed together.
-
7
I like to mix this with my hands and get the seasoning and chicken mixed together really well.
-
8
Take a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture and put it in a line down the center of one corn tortilla and roll the tortilla up.
-
9
Similar to making enchiladas.
-
10
Roll the tortilla tightly and secure with half a toothpick.
-
11
Continue until all the tortillas and filling are used.
-
12
Sometimes I have to fry some additional tortillas to use up all the chicken mixture.
-
13
After all of the taquitos are rolled up and secured you will need to fry them.
-
14
You can either heat up a few inches of oil in your frying pan or use a deep fryer to fry the taquitos.
-
15
I like to use a fryer as it is much faster.
-
16
If using a pan with a few inches of oil set a few taquitos in the oil and turn them after about 2 minutes on each side.
-
17
The chicken is already cooked so you just want the tortilla to get nice and crispy.
-
18
Set the fried taquitos on a platter lined with paper towels and serve warm.
