Creating delicious taquitos is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps to prepare your tasty treats:

1. Cook the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, and taco seasoning. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
2. Prepare Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable and ready to roll.
3. Fill the Tortillas: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla. Be careful not to overstuff them.
4. Roll the Taquitos: Tightly roll up each tortilla around the filling, creating a sealed tube.
5. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F) by testing with a small piece of tortilla; it should sizzle when added.
6. Fry the Taquitos: Carefully place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the hot oil. Fry them in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove and Drain: Use tongs to carefully remove the taquitos from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve Warm: Allow them to cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be hot.

These simple steps will guide you in making perfectly crispy taquitos that are both delicious and satisfying.
