Steps:
- Add enough oil to a heavy bottom straight-sided pan to come 2 inches up the sides. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Meanwhile, mix together the chicken, Cheddar, 1/2 cup salsa and the cumin in a medium bowl. Spoon about a 1/4 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
- Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, place the taquitos in the hot oil and fry, flipping as needed to brown evenly, until crispy and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, remove the taquitos to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Continue with the remaining taquitos. Serve alongside salsa and sour cream for dipping, if desired.
BAKED TAQUITOS
I got this recipe off of a blog (bigboldbeautifulfood.blogspot.com). I have made it once and the flavour was really good, but it looked funny! The instructions are long but it is actually very simple and quick to make. I am posting how the recipe is originally written (well almost) but you might want to add a bit more spice. I served it with a spicy salsa and it tasted great. The chicken broth is needed if you are using corn tortillas only.

Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spray or brush tortillas lightly with oil and bake until crisp and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a crispier taquito, use a non-stick baking sheet and spray it with cooking spray before baking.
- To make sure the taquitos are cooked evenly, flip them halfway through the baking time.
- If you don't have a baking sheet, you can also bake the taquitos in a single layer on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken in this recipe.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings, such as ground beef, pork, or vegetables.
- Serve the taquitos with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
These baked chicken taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
