Method

  1. 1 Sauté the ground beef with dried chili peppers for 10 minutes, then mix with mashed boiled potatoes. The filling must be dry to be able to be rolled tightly.
  2. 2 Heat the tortillas for 20 seconds until pliable, then cut each tortilla in half to roll them into short 6 cm tubes.
  3. 3 Wrap tightly and fold the taquito end face down for 5 minutes to allow it to self-adhere. Since taquitos are short, toothpicks aren't needed like with flautas.
  4. 4 Fry in oil at 175 degrees for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds until evenly golden brown and crispy.
  5. 5 Arrange on a lettuce leaf, drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with fresh cheese, and eat immediately while still crispy.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 38 min

    For step 4: spray oil around the taquito and place the folded end down. Air fry at 195 degrees for 7 minutes, flipping at the 4th minute to ensure the tortilla is evenly golden and crispy.
