Crunchy tortilla outsides, gooey spicy insides. So good. Pile salsa and guac on top and get your munch on. Makes 6.
- About 1 chicken breast-worth of cooked, shredded chicken
- 100g grated cheddar
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch of salt
- 6 corn/wheat tortillas
- 1 tsp bacon fat (or veg oil)
- Mix together all the ingredients except for the tortillas and the bacon fat or oil
- Spoon a sixth of the mixture in a line along the middle of a tortilla
- Fold the tortilla around the filling like a spring roll, folding in the ends as you roll the tortilla
- Stop them from springing open by securing with a toothpick, or just pressing them gently with the fold-side down
- Repeat until all the tortillas and all the filling is used up
- Heat the bacon fat in a non-stick pan over a medium heat
- Place the taquitos into the pan and fry for a couple of mins on each side until the tortillas are brown and the filling is melted
