A twist on a traditional family recipe​
Bringing back childhood memories with our delicious Chicken Taquitos recipe, inspired by Edward’s mom’s homemade flautas. We’ve put a unique twist on this family favorite, using Miceli Dairy ricotta cheese to give it that special touch from our home in Cleveland. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these taquitos blend comfort and flavor perfectly. Have you ever added a twist to a traditional family recipe?
You will need
- 15 oz ricotta cheese
- 1/2 white onion, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 18 white corn tortillas
- 1 cup sunflower oil
- 3 Roma tomatoes
- 1/4 white onion
- 1 garlic clove, unpeeled
- 1 fresh jalapeño pepper, seeded
- 2 T cilantro
Instructions
- To make the salsa, heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Roast the garlic, jalapeño, tomatoes, and onion until slightly charred, then remove from heat.
- In a blender, puree the roasted garlic, jalapeño, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro until smooth. Salt to taste. Pour into a serving bowl.
- Mix the ricotta cheese with the chopped onion, minced garlic, and shredded chicken in a bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the griddle again to medium-high heat, and place the tortillas on for 30-45 seconds until soft. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each tortilla. Roll up tightly and secure with a toothpick to keep together while cooking.
- Heat a cast iron skillet with the sunflower oil over high heat. Fry the taquitos, four at a time, until golden on all sides. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain any excess oil. Repeat until finished.
- Serve the chicken taquitos with homemade salsa on the side. Enjoy!
