  • Tightly wrap/roll the tortilla around the filling and pierce with a toothpick to hold it together
  • Tip: Cover prepared taquitos with a damp towel to keep the tortillas from cracking.Heat 1” of canola oil over medium heat until oil is glistening
  • Working in small batches fry the prepared taquitos until light brown, rotating every 1-2 minutes
  • Transfer to a paper towel lined plate
  • If making a large batch, place finished taquitos on a baking sheet in a 250°F oven until ready to serve.When ready to serve, top taquitos with shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo or salsa. **We have linked our favorite recipes for homemade taco seasoning, guacamole and pico de gallo but just a heads up...the store bought versions work just as well if you are short on time!
