A delightful twist on classic taquitos, these crispy shredded pork tacos are packed with flavor and perfect for any occasion.
Combine the shredded pork, diced onion, chopped green chili, lemon pepper, minced garlic, and shredded cheese in a mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough by testing with a small piece of tortilla; it should sizzle.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
Warming the tortillas prevents them from cracking when rolled.
Place a spoonful of the pork mixture onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and secure with a wooden pick.
Do not overfill the tortillas to avoid spillage during frying.
Fry the rolled tacos in the hot oil until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Turn the tacos gently to ensure even frying.
Drain the fried tacos on paper towels and serve warm with your favorite dips.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
