  3. The one thing I would kill to have is a simple recipe for Carnitas Tacos (my personal favorite) but everytime I see a recipe it looks so complex and intimidating (the cuts of meat, the process, the pressure cooker) but man how I would love an easy recipe I could actually make 😭

  8. Back around 1971 Jack In The Box in Southern California sold the most delicious beef taquitoes with guacamole sauce. You could order two sizes: 3 or 5 as I recall. It was expensive but worth every penny. Too bad they discontinued them not long after.

  10. "Crispy Chicken Taquitos Recipe"
    Ingredients
    * Chicken: 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (warm or cold, light or dark meat).
    * Cream Cheese: 4 oz, diced for easier mixing.
    * Shredded Cheese: 1 ½ cups Mexican blend or Colby Jack cheese.
    * Salsa/Sauce: ½ cup salsa verde or green enchilada sauce.
    * Seasoning: 2 teaspoons taco seasoning.
    * Tortillas: Small corn tortillas (about 16-17 total).
    * Oil: High-heat cooking oil (enough for ½ inch in the skillet).
    * Optional Toppings: Greens (Romaine or Iceberg), diced tomato, avocado, guacamole, fresh cilantro, Mexican crema (or sour cream thinned with milk), and Cotija cheese.

    Instructions
    1. Prepare the Filling
    * In a medium bowl, combine the finely shredded chicken and the diced cream cheese.
    * Add the shredded Mexican cheese, salsa verde, and taco seasoning.
    * Mash the mixture together with a fork until all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
    2. Warm the Tortillas
    * To prevent the corn tortillas from cracking, warm them individually in a skillet over medium heat for 15 to 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable.
    3. Assemble the Taquitos
    * While the tortilla is still warm, spread about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture across the center.
    * Roll the tortilla up tightly. Ensure the filling does not hang over the edges to prevent it from leaking during frying.
    * Repeat until all the mixture and tortillas are used.
    4. Fry to Perfection
    * Add about half an inch of oil to a heavy skillet or saucepan. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
    * Place the taquitos into the oil seam-side down. Use tongs to hold them in place for a few seconds initially to ensure they stay closed.
    * Fry 3 to 4 taquitos at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they reach a deep golden brown and are extra crispy.
    * Transfer the finished taquitos to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
    5. Serve and Enjoy
    * For a traditional presentation, serve over a bed of shredded greens.
    * Top with diced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and a drizzle of Mexican crema or sour cream.

  14. My daughter cooks her chicken in their own broth then uses the broth with jalapeno chilis and cilantro to create the most wonderful soup to dip the taquitos in. Topped with queso fresco, cabbage and sour cream, OMG! I renamed it Dancing soup because when I eat it I just have to dance,.
