A delightful twist on a classic Mexican dish, these crispy chicken taquitos are paired with a zesty guacamole for a perfect combination of flavors.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, diced onion, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, sour cream, salt, and black pepper.
Mixing the ingredients thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Place a small portion of the chicken mixture onto the center of each corn tortilla.
Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable for rolling.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
Ensure the taquitos are rolled tightly to prevent them from unrolling during frying.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of tortilla into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the taquitos in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even frying.
Drain the fried taquitos on paper towels and remove the toothpicks.
Draining on paper towels helps remove excess oil for a lighter dish.
In a separate bowl, mash the avocados and mix with diced tomato, red onion, fresh cilantro, salt, and lime juice.
Mash the avocados to your desired consistency for a chunky or smooth guacamole.
Serve the taquitos warm with the guacamole on the side.
Garnish with extra cilantro or a lime wedge for a fresh presentation.
