1

Prep the Filling:
Combine the shredded chicken with the shredded cheese in a bowl. Add any additional seasoning as desired.

2

Soften the Tortillas:
Warm the tortillas on a hot skillet or in the microwave so they are pliable and don't crack when rolled.

3

Roll the Taquitos:
Place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture on each tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

4

Fry the Taquitos:
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a pan to approximately 350°F (175°C). Fry the taquitos in batches, turning occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown. This should take about 3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

Serve:
Remove any toothpicks and serve the taquitos hot with your choice of toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, queso fresco, and cilantro.
