Make Chicken Taquitos

Depending on your mood (and money) you can choose to make chicken, meat, or potato taquitos. It is a very simple dish to make but delicious to eat. You can have it as a quick snack or make it into a dinner dish.

Ingredients

  • Tortillas: When you go to your local supermarket look for the Latin American food section, and there you will find already made tortillas. You may choose flour or corn as long as they are thin.
  • Chicken: You can replace this option with potato or meat. Anything that you are in the mood for.
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Crumbled cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 an onion
  • 1 teaspoon of oregano
  • 2 spoons of salt
  • Oil for frying
  • Sour cream of your choice (optional)
  • Salsa of your choice (optional)

Steps

  1. Cook the chicken. If you prefer to make potato or meat tacos then cook then whichever way you prefer. The same goes for chicken preparation--any which way is good.
    • Remove the skin from the chicken and cut it into pieces.
    • Put the water to boil in pot big enough to fit the chicken. Put the following ingredients into the pot: 2 spoons of salt, 1/2 an onion cut into chunks, 3 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of oregano, the chicken pieces. Leave the chicken in for about 20 minutes.
    • Take the chicken out of the pot and make sure it is cooked. If it is not put it back in for a few more minutes. Otherwise let the chicken cool.
    • Start shredding the pieces of chicken. These strips will go in the taco so make sure the pieces are the right size.
  2. Turn on your frying pan and start heating up the oil.
  3. Put the tortillas into the microwave for about two minutes. Heat up as many as you want to make tacos from.
  4. Put the shredded chicken slices in a line at the edges of a tortilla. Roll it up carefully, making sure no chicken can get out.
  5. Put the taco into the frying pan and let it fry until the tortilla has turned brown and crispy. Repeat this until you have finished with all the tortillas and chicken.
  6. Put shredded pieces of lettuce on top of your tacos and crumbled cheese over the lettuce. You can also add salsa, beans, or sour cream.
  7. Enjoy!

Warning

  • Especially when children are helping supervise them. Make sure they are not touching the pan or throwing the tacos into the frying pan. Burning may occur from the oil jumping out of the pan.
  • The taquitos will be hot after frying. Be sure to let them cool before eating.
