Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Chicken Taquitos
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheese, salsa verde, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix everything until well combined.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
- Lay a warm tortilla flat and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
- In a large skillet, heat about one inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Carefully place the taquitos seam-side down in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the crispy taquitos to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and cool slightly.
- Serve your taquitos warm alongside your favorite toppings.

Notes
For best results, ensure your oil is at the right temperature before frying. Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker filling preparation.
