Instructions
Instructions
- First you mix shrimp, crab meat, queso fresco, chili powder, and garlic powder in a big bowl. You wanna make sure every bit gets coated well.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet till they’re bendy, this stops cracking when you roll.
- Put a spoonful of the seafood mix in each tortilla and roll them tight, you want that filling secure so it don’t leak out.
- Heat your oil in a frying pan over medium heat. The cooker’s catching the flavors but frying adds that crispy charm you don’t wanna miss.
- Fry your taquitos in batches, flipping them every 3-4 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Drain on paper towels once done to soak up extra oil then serve hot with your fav salsa for dipping. The way those crunchy shells crack open is just something else.
Notes
Serve with your favorite salsa for added flavor.
