Ingredients
TAQUITO FILLING
-
6 cups chicken, shredded(750 g) -
¼ cup jalapeño, diced(25 g) -
1 teaspoon cumin -
1 teaspoon garlic powder -
1 teaspoon salt -
1 ½ cups crema table cream (375 g) - 24 corn tortillas

-
½ cup crema table cream(115 g) - fresh cilantro

½ cup cotija cheese (60 g) - avocado
Preparation
- In a sauce pan, over medium-high heat, combine all taquito filling ingredients. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of filling across the tortilla about ⅓ of the way up from the bottom of the tortilla, and roll the tortilla around the filling.
- Heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully, place 3-4 taquitos in the oil, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. (Frying them seam side down first helps them stay closed during frying!)Cream
