📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl mix together chicken, cream cheese, grated cheese, cilantro, salsa, sour cream, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and black pepper.
cream cheese, room temperature6 ounces
2
Wrap your tortillas, 6 at a time, in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 – ⏱️ 30 seconds until warmed. Keep them wrapped until you fill each. This helps prevent the tortilla from cracking as you roll it up.
3
Fill a large skillet with 1/2- inch of oil and heat over medium heat to 350°F.
4
Add 2 tablespoons of chicken filling to the center of a tortilla and spread it slightly, leaving room at the edge. Roll the tortilla up and use metal tongs to place it seam side down in the hot oil. Use toothpicks to hold the taquito together (*See note). Cook until golden brown on both sides, 2–⏱️ 3 minutes per side. Set on paper towels to drain. Remove the toothpicks.
5
Repeat until all tortillas have been filled, rolled and fried.
