Taquitos cooking Instructions
In a small pot we are going to add the salsa ingredients. Remove the center of the tomatoes and cut them in half, cut the piece of onion in small portions. Add the oil. cover the pot and take it to the stove cook it for 7 minutes on medium low heat.
Diced the potatoes in small squares. Then slice the onion and finally shredded the chicken breast.
In a big pot, add some oil and then add the onions and the diced potatoes. Add some spices so the potato can absorb it. And cook them until the potatoes are soft. Add the shredded chicken and mix it up and cook it for 3 min.
Warm the tortillas, fill them with the potato chicken mixture, close them using a toothpick and fry them.
Hint: It is important that in order for you to be able to freeze this potato taquitos for later, is important to use enough oil to cover completly the taquito.
Substitutions and variations:
Here are a few ideas and changes that you could make to the recipe.
- Pinto Beans: use any type of beans (black, red etc.)
- tomatoes: You can use tomatillos instead for a green salsa. (delicious as well)
- The extras for the recipe: instead of adding lettuce you can use cabbage, you can add sourcream.
Storage
This chicken taquitos are good in the fridge for up to 8 days or so.
You can freeze them, just wait for them to be completely cold, add them to a ziploc bag and put them in your freezer. I recommed to eat them in 30 days or less.
Top tip
Do not overcook them so the taquitos are not so hard and brown that the flavor will be not so good.
